I ordered my 3nd great grandfather's civil war records. The order was easily done, and was received quickly. It was relatively inexpensive for the amount of material that I received. I found some information in the records that I was not aware of. I do have other service records that I will be ordering. Thank you for your work. Kathleen

Being computer illiterate, I thought that all I had received was 4 records for my 3X great grandfather, 3 of which I had already found on my own. I was so disappointed! A couple of days later, I looked at the files sent to me, and discovered there was one I hadn't looked at yet. That file included 126 pages of records! Granted, a lot of it was repeated several times (I assume that's military effeciency), but I had new info and saw my ancestor's signature for the first time. I intend to send for records [...]

I requested homestead records and received them so fast I was shocked. They were very helpful and the price was amazing. If you need any records I highly recommend using Gopher Record you won't be disappointed. I plan on using them again for my dad's WWII records.

Wish I would’ve known about this sooner! Great service! Ordered three records but was only certain about two. Bob did research to help eliminate the one I was not certain about. Quicker response than indicated. Just ordered two additional records!

I found out about Gopher Records just after having gone through NARA (several years back) to pull another ancestor's CW pension records. I wish I had discovered GR sooner. I recently used GR for the first time this past June 2025. They provided incredible service at a very affordable price, and they completed their search for my 2nd GGF's pension records so fast it literally made my jaw drop! I was completely blown away! The prints were crisp and clear and did not disappoint. You are reading the review of one happy customer who will continue to be a [...]

Fast and easy in 40 years of collecting I have never recieved records so fast And easy (3 days). My sincere thanks!!

I contacted Gopher Records for a pension file to gather more information for my family tree. One of the best sources I ever discovered. Learned key surnames and confirmed relationships and births that were previously only suspected. A true wealth of information for a very reasonable and less expensive cost than if I had the National Archives do it. Plus, I had the information in a few days, not weeks. Great service. Thank you so much.

Bob and Gopher Records have been great to work with. Bob went beyond the call of duty to provide the best possible copies. I feel fortunate to have found this resource and plan to use Gopher Records for future projects. Highly recommend for research, in my case involving the Indian Wars.

I was blown away by the incredible and fast service received from Bob and GopherRecords. I asked him what records were available over a year ago and the response was very quick. I didn't have enough information to feel I could order anything at that time, and he never hassled me about it. I finally got enough information I felt I had the right person and submitted my order. I was shocked at how quickly he emailed to tell me they were available, and within seconds of submitting payment, I had the file sent to me, ready to download! [...]

I love the level of customer service, attention to detail and diligence that Gopher Records provides ... It was easy to file the request, and I was kept apprised of progress. The records I received just blew my mind! Until I learned about Civil War pension records, I had no idea of the type of details they could provide. I also had NO idea how to manoeuvre my way around the archive system to order them. Enter Gopher Records !! The service they provide is superior and added a depth of insight to ancestors on my family tree [...]
