To quote Allison Janey's character of the 1994 remake of "Miracle on 34th Street," "“I’m coming here for everything but toilet paper and bananas.” I'm so glad I discovered Gopher Records. I received the CMSRs I ordered ahead of the estimated time I would receive them, and they were so clear! I can finally read everything in my ancestor's military service record! I also got a discount for joining the free membership, so it was very reasonably priced. And I had a question separate from my first Gopher Records order, so I emailed the team, and they answered my question [...]

Great copies of the records. Better than the National Archives.

I was very very impressed when it was emphasized on what NOT to buy because I can get it for free. Or being warned that the one I ordered may not be mine. I've already posted on several sites how much I love them! I've used the 3x One of those times I decided to wait because we were unsure if we had the right person. If you use one site for military records use this one.

This is a one stop place for all records relating to your descendants from the Military. All records are very concise and readable. Great and fast service.

It's wonderful that someone provides this service for reasonable price.

I was trying to understand why the nephew of my G-G-G-G grandmother claimed to be a veteran of the Kentucky 22nd Volunteer Infantry (Company D), when he was not listed in the muster list available various places. Clues were there, but not a definitive answer. The pension file that I sourced through Gopher Records answered the question. He had signed on as a Lieutenant in the Company, but had resigned when his house was destroyed by Morgan's forces, and he had to go home to deal with it. This occurred before the company was mustered [...]

Gopher retrieved two Civil War pension records for me. They were ready to download in just three days, faster than NARA and at a lower price than they would have charged. The records included the dates of the soldier's first marriage and divorce, information I had not been able to find elsewhere. Recommended service!

For my line with many men of the same name, Alfred Ridge is a son of Thomas Ridge, I thought an unmarried man's records could name siblings and parents. As a beginner, this was a daunting task and closures from Covid made it impossible. When I saw Gopher mentioned in a Facebook chat group it seemed like the answer. And it was, 52 pages worth! His injuries led to an extensive medical record with testimonials from many people because his doctor died. Who knew. Just a single page has descriptions, dates, living situation, and multiple locations. As the only [...]

Very good prompt service.

I’ve searched for years to find answers to my ancestral riddles. Gopher found all the answers in a week, all I had to provide is a pension file number. The cost is far less than what I pay for subscriptions to well known genealogy sites. I highly recommend Gopher as a tool in the search for answers. Well done!
