I have ordered a few pension files via Gopher and they are my "Gofor" when I need something from NARA. Recently I received a civil war pension file in just 8 days and it was 221 pages! Thank you Gopher for your prompt and thorough service.

I was absolutely thrilled with the service from Gopher Records. The records I needed were easy to order and were available to me within a week! I have ordered directly through the National Archives before and I definitely will not be going that route ever again (four month wait times, poor customer service, and ridiculously high prices considering staff is already on site). I would highly recommend Gopher Records!

WOW....I cannot recommend enough the services provided by this gentleman! I am over the moon happy with his speedy service and affordable pricing. I tried another company some time ago, and had to pay upfront, and never received the information that I paid for. Gopher does not accept your payment until after they have your order ready. I have placed 2 orders so far for a total of 5 family members Civil War records & have more orders to place. Both orders have been fulfilled in less than a months time. I appreciate [...]

I was amazed at the speed with which my request for Civil War records was processed. I submitted this for a client and they are so pleased with the quality of the document I was able to provide them. I will ALWAYS use Gopher Records when I have a need!

I've placed multiple orders with Gopher Records over the years, and Bob has always been helpful, prompt, and professional. For my most recent order, I requested records for five Civil War veterans. Although I wasn't certain these individuals were my ancestors, I wanted to explore every possibility in my research. Before fulfilling my request, Bob contacted me to clarify my needs, resulting in significant savings. I would gladly use Gopher Records again!

Gopher is an excellent source to obtain military records. They are easy to use, reliable, fast and affordable. They also will help you if needed. I plan on using the service over and over.

Great service! Quick turnaround and clear copies emailed to me. I highly recommend Gopher records!

gopherrecords was amazingly fast and thorough! Will definitely be using again! Thank You so much!

I am so impressed with the documents Gopher Records was able to retrieve for me on my great great grandpas through their pension records and bookmarks. There were a lot of pages located and the scans are easy to read. It was all information that I was unaware of. Thank you!!

This is the 2nd time I have received documents from Gopher Records. They are very prompt with delivering requested records. The first time I only ordered service records for 2 ancestors. This time I ordered service, pension, and medical. The medical and pension records alone were over 140 pages of information. Would highly recommend to anyone searching for more military info to use Gopher Records. Aside from the records themselves, Bob Velke is amazing at following up even after you receive your order to make sure you are satisfied and don't have any questions or issues!!!
