I have a photo of my grandmother's cousin in his Spanish American War uniform with limited information on the back. The only information I could find on Ancestry and Family Search was the cover to his service records. I asked Gopher Records for help, and within days they sent me his military service records, and are currently working on his pension records. Their fees are much more reasonable than requesting the information from NARA, and they are much quicker to respond. They don't charge anything unless they find what you requested. I will definitely use them again, and highly [...]

Thank you for the superior job you did in researching my two Civil War soldiers. All the documents you furnished established a timeline from their mustering into the Army of the Potomac following through till their discharges. It was a very interesting read and gave a good idea about their time in service. The added bonus was the widow who applied for a pension for herself and minor child after the war. She was unknown to me. Thank you again Gopher Records!

I have been thrilled with the service from GopherRecords! When I first looked at ordering pension records I looked at the National Archives first and it seemed very daunting as well as very expensive! The process through GopherRecords is so easy to use and you don't get charged unless they find the file you are requesting! Thank you so much!

I discovered 4 volumes of records for a North Carolina regiment. The Archives held the original volumes, not transcribed. Gopher Records copied all 4 volumes for me at an incredibly low price, cheaper than me traveling to D.C. just for 1 volume. Their work was timely and of exceptional quality. I now have all available records on the regiment for research and study. Without Gopher Records, the information might never have come to light. I highly recommend this very professional and friendly company!

Excellent, Excellent Service. Extremely fast and reliable for finding and providing the records I requested. I highly recommend using Gopher for retrieving any record, if available, for you from the National Archives.

I submitted several requests for land records. Bob was very helpful in explaining a few items that I had requested. I received the requested items in a very timely fashion -- actually faster than I anticipated. The payment process was easy as was downloading the images of the records. If I need to obtain additional records, I will certainly use Gopher Records again. Thanks for the great service.

Gopher Records located and were able to obtain the pension information for my 2nd great grandfather, which provided a wealth of information to our family. It was necessary to access through the freedom of information action and I am greatly appreciative. Thank you.

I've ordered 2 sets of Civil War Pension records and both times the requested information was provided in a timely, professional manner and at a reasonable price. Gopher Records will be my go-to from now on!

Records arrive in reasonably time; prices feel affordable; and image quality is superb. Put those three things together, and I'm asking myself which pension file I'm going to order next. 🙂

I've requested several files from GopherRecords.com and have always been delighted with the results -- high quality scans without having to wait (I got one order on a Monday after making the request late Friday). The images are scanned in full color and can easily be magnified to evaluate that puzzling phrase. One pension file even included letters sent during the Civil War by the soldier who was incarcerated in Andersonville. Then there was my great-great-grandfather who deserted, stole his officer's horse, and was court-martialed, twice. Oop. These records can contain amazing information and GopherRecords.com's service makes it possible [...]
