I have used Gopher Records several times. Their service is quick, well done and the price is right. I don't hesitate to order a pension record now at all.

I have used this service for two individuals. It is super fast and affordable. He also answers questions and will provide background and historical information. If you have a relative who fought in the Civil War, you should order his records. They provide a wealth of information and it is well worth the investment.

I have asked for and received records for multiple Civil War soldiers. The research is thorough and quick. Personal attention was given when there were questions. The prices are reasonable and I could not do this for myself. I will use Gopher Records again and recommend them to anyone who needs or wants similar services.

Gopher Records has retrieved 4 Civil War pension files for me now, and I’ve been very happy with the quality of the scans, quick turnaround, price, and customer service. Highly recommended!

Having worked with military pension files for many years, I have always regarded them as an invaluable resource. The drawback has been the cost and time involved in ordering them from NARA since I don't live near D.C. It was for these reasons that I decided to give Gopher Records a try. To say they exceeded my expectations would be a definite understatement.

I ordered Civil War service and pension records from Gopher Records. The service was excellent, both professional and quick. The records I receive were excellent scans of the records in the file.

I would definitely use Gopher Records again!

Great customer service and research at a fair price!! Thank you Gopher!!

I obtained a another CW pension file from Gopher-- just like the first pension file -- the service was complete, quick and reasonably priced.

Quick Service reasonably priced. Will use again.

This was my first time using Gopher Records and it could not have been a better experience. The file I needed was not in DC and Bob was able to track it down at the Veterans Administration...he even did the Freedom of Information Act request for me. I have no experience ordering from the VA and would have been totally lost. The next time I need a record, I will not hesitate to use Gopher Records.
