I can't say enough good things about Bob and Gopher Records. All three of my orders were completed as promptly as possible (given NARA access restrictions) and the digital files he provided were of the highest-possible quality. What I really appreciate is that Bob will not give up if your file is not easily located. One of the pension files I requested was not available in the Washington, DC archives, so he was referred to St. Louis. After that facility also replied that the file was not there, he filed a FOIA request on my behalf with the Veterans [...]

Learned about Gopher Records through a Civil War Facebook group. I was researching my great great grandfather's military service and ran in to some confusing findings. Thanks to Gopher Records I was able to solve the mystery! Highly recommend Gopher if you're doing family research and want a fast, affordable and thorough records search.

Gopher Records performs an incredible service for me. Through their work, I have uncovered details that disproves an urban legend and provides factual information to finally solve the riddle. For the last 100 years, the "last shot of the Civil War east of the Mississippi" has been centered on a Federal Regiment I am researching. Come to find out through the service records of the individuals involved, history was 1/2 correct. Now the true story can be told. It is like searching for the Holy Grail and Gopher Records saying, "hold on, I know [...]

I was very frustrated with waiting for the National Archives to provide me with copies of two pension records. A friend told me about this awesome company that would be able to go locate them in a fraction of the time. I cancelled the request with NARA, submitted a request to Gopher Records and had the records in less than a week. The estimate they gave me to complete the work order was one month, so they successfully exceeded my exceptions with the quick service. I would absolutely use them again! In addition, I located a [...]

I've ordered numerous civil war pensions and always received prompt service with excellent images which were easy to download. Also kept me posted on one that was not available at NARA in D.C. and the next steps they will conduct in trying to locate it which I really appreciate. Have referred to others and will definitely be utilizing their services. again!!

thanks so much for helping me

Gopher Records found the correct William Young out of many William Young’s who served in the USCT.

I used this company for the first time earlier this month and was so impressed that I have already placed my second order! Professional, very fast delivery of records and the quality of the documents were excellent!

I am so appreciative of the service provided by Gopher Records. They respond in a timely manner - usually only a week or two even with very large orders like this one which had close to 1000 pages. And the records are clear and easy to read. The entire process of ordering and paying for and downloading the files is also very organized, easy, and efficient. In the past I have traveled myself to the archives to search for and copy files and I have ordered directly from the archives. In doing it myself, I left wondering if I had [...]
