I highly recommend using Gopher Records for your record retrieval needs. Bob has gone above and beyond to help me secure files for my genealogical research. The details contained in my orders are invaluable!

I found 4 unknown volumes of civil war records for a western NC regiment at NARA. NARA informed me they did not copy the records, and my traveling there to review them wasn't feasible. I contacted Gopher Records to see what options I had. They copied Volume I for me, all 212 pages. The quality is superb and probably more important, they communicated with me! A rarity in this day. The cost was much less than me driving there, staying over and learning the system. I would recommend them for any [...]

I needed a homestead file real quick to help me solve a family mystery. The file just provide more questions than answers. But I still couldn't believe how great the service was. Thank you!

I recently used Gopher records to find service, medical and pension records for my 2nd great grandfather, who was in the civil war. The information and files they found for me was truly astounding! I knew his name, wife, and unit he served in, Gopher did the rest..The records they found for me put all the pieces together and brought my 2nd great grandfather ‘back to life’, and what a life it was! I would recommend this service to anyone who is researching their family.

I am SO happy I have found this service through the recommendation of David Lambert on Twitter. I had to cancel my trip to Washington, DC last month. I received the documents I asked for within a few days. The quality of the scanned documents, the fast service, and the price are a 5-star for me.

Gopher Records provides excellent service at a reasonable rate. They are good communicators, and they provide excellent scans of the documents you order. I would absolutely order from them again.

I've placed about five orders now, and I continue to be impressed by the affordability, quickness, and customer service of Gopher. On my most recent order, it turned out there were two soldiers with the exact same name I was looking for. Bob contacted me, helped me sort out the two men, and delivered the correct records. If you can't make it to NARA yourself, Gopher is the way to go!

I wish I could say that I found the answers I was looking for when I received my order, but they just weren't there. However, I am confident that I received everything there was to find for my 2X great grandfather who served in the Civil War. Gopher Records was so prompt and thorough with my order and I have every confidence that I received all the available records. The speed and service was absolutely amazing AND the price was right besides. I'm sure I'll be ordering more records in the future. I

If you are searching your family history and military records are part of that search.....Gopher Records must be the service to use to seek, locate and review in such a short turnaround time! Don't believe me, give them a try and see for yourself!!!

I submitted my order just before Christmas and I didn't expect any response for weeks. But I received back my scanned file shortly after New Years. Despite the age of these documents the scans were clear and very readable. I am very happy with the result.
