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.

Your team provided an immense amount of information about my great grandfather. You enabled me to fill-in and correct wrong data that I had. Great job and thank you.

I have used Gopher Records a number of times now since the National Archives still has a large backup for mail orders due to the pandemic. Each time, Bob and his team have exceeded my expectations. The records frequently arrive to my email well before the estimated date, the scans are always clear, and the customer service is great.

The prices are very fair for such a quick turnaround and good [...]

I was blown away by the speed of delivery, as I received my records in [...]

Within 2 weeks all but one ancestors files had been located and we determined more research would be needed to find the last on my part. Gopher Records provided a link to do some of that research and was friendly and understanding when what I initially had was not adequate to determine which files were his. Shortly after I submitted payment a link [...]

I order records from Gopher Records several times a month. Their work has proved invaluable for my research. The timeliness of their responses and the fair price makes it easy for me to go back to them again and again. Highly recommend them for your research needs!

This service is priceless! Thank you, Bob, for the pension files that I have ordered. As always, the service was fast and the quality of the reproductions was outstanding.
