Thanks once again for provided a fast turnaround on documents from the National Archives! I will always return for future record needs!

I had only the given name of Charles Gilman's wife and no marriage date or place. The photo of his headstone on Findagrave.com indicated he was a Civil War Veteran so I ordered his pension file. The ordering process was clear and easy and I received the PDF files SO much faster than if I had ordered them directly from NARA. I was delighted to find the information that I had hoped for- I know his wife's maiden name and their date and place of marriage [see attached file.] This is a great retrieval service- the ordering process is [...]

Gopher Records is an excellent records retrieval service. Their website is easy to navigate to request records, their service is fast and they are very helpful and knowledgeable. As a Professional Genealogist for 19 years, I can highly recommend Gopher Records.

I have used Bob’s services a number of times and would highly recommend him. Excellent service and a pleasure to work with.

I have used Gopher Records to obtain documents from the National Archives for several years now. Their knowledge and service is so exceptional, I consider them one of my top resources for genealogical research.

Every time I interact with Gopher Records, I come away pleased. They are prompt, courteous, and go above and beyond in making sure that I ordered what I really wanted, pointing out more than one time that I could save money by choosing another option. I've ordered well over 1000 pages from them and I would not have had access to any of it without their help.

I recently worked with Bob to obtain the military and pension file of an ancestor who served in the Spanish American War. The military file was delivered quite quickly and was very reasonably priced. The pension file required more work to try and figure out who was currently holding those records. Bob took care of inquiring at NARA and ultimately filing an FOIA request on my behalf with the VA to obtain the file. It took a little while but he kept me updated throughout the process and honestly it was so nice to [...]

I am so thankful for Gopher Records! They are a joy to work with and just couldn’t be faster! I am so thankful that I have found them! I am finally really breaking through some walls I have had with their help! I would highly recommend working with Gopher Records if you need any recodes, they are fast and the customer service is amazing! They are my GO TO for record retrieval! Laura

Thank you so much to Bob for obtaining land records so quickly and even locating an additional file for us! After having waited and waited before receiving orders from National Archives it was such a pleasure to get the information in days, not months and months!

Recently I used Bob's services again and was, again, very satisfied. He got what I wanted within a few days and the scanned PDF was very clear. He even called me on the phone because we had an email problem. Having worked with the Archives directly in the past I can also say that Bob's prices are competitive in addition to being fast (which the Archives is not). If you need pension or compiled service records Bob's your guy.
