Quick and helpful research
The research that Gopher records did for me to find Civil War records has been invaluable in my research. I highly recommend them. They were professional and speedy.

Great experience using Gopher
I heard of Gopher Records from a social media genealogy group.
I have placed two orders so far, and both times my experience was excellent.
Very fast response, great communication - a smooth and professional transaction all around.
I will be using their services again!

Awesome Service
I ordered the Civil War Soldiers Bundle and was expecting to hear something in a couple of weeks.
My results were sent to me 3 days later! The bundle contained records that I didn’t realize were available and a pension file that was over 200 pages thick. The information that I have discovered in these records is immeasurable.
I have other ancestors to research and I will definitely be reaching back out to Gopher Records for assistance.

Receipt of three Civil War Pensions.
Thank you Gopher Records for delivery of three Civil War Pensions in a matter of days. I have been frustrated with the lack of responsiveness from the National Archives since COVID. Gopher Records has been a breath of fresh air.

Professional service. Quick turnaround. Great price. I am a professional genealogist and have used this service twice to obtain records from the National Archives. Highly recommended. One court martial record I ordered had 491 pages - they scanned them all and sent to me for only $45. Much needed service for researchers. Thank you!

patience & persistence
Bob, I took advantage of your pandemic offer to dig into records as soon as NARA resumed processing. At this point you have completed all my requests. It has been eye-opening for our family, and we are most grateful for your expertise. At every step along the way you kept me well informed with realistic expectations. Your professionalism and dogged pursuit have been admirable, even to the point of a Freedom of Information request that accomplished the research goal. Highly recommended! I'm compiling my next request now.

Efficient, Friendly, Thorough
I was searching for the pension files for 5 ancestors/wives. Within a few days of my initial request Gopher Records had already located one and asked clarification questions for the other 4. 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 [...]
