Some records are a stab in the dark. I still don't know if this is the right guy but I got the records very quickly, allowing me time to evaluate before deciding on the next move.

I asked Gopher Records to locate pension records for a great great grandfather that I knew had served and within a short amount of time I had the records in my hands!! I received more information than I expected and the records were clear and easy to read. As a 40+ year genealogist I was thrilled to find information that was missing in my file on this individual. I highly recommend Gopher Records if you’re interested in obtaining records that you’ve been looking for and learning more about your family than you ever expected. Give them a try!! [...]

I requested a full Civil War file on a great Uncle from Goopher records and Bob Velke came through with lightening speed. Within a week I had all digital files saved to my desktop, and while I had some difficulty in saving them, Bob offered to make a phone call and walk me through the process. I am beyond impressed at his expertise and highly recommed his services above and beyond what the NARC can offer. Keep up the good work, you are providing a valuable service to us researchers!

I was amazed at the speed with which my request for Civil War records was processed. I submitted this for a client and they are so pleased with the quality of the document I was able to provide them. I will ALWAYS use Gopher Records when I have a need!

I had my many Civil War records requests delivered to my email inbox within 7-10 days. 2 of my requests may need a trip to the St. Louis Archives and this need was relayed to me, along with sending what information that was on hand at NARA in Washington. Followup emails were sent to make sure all info was downloaded ok. Highly recommended

I placed an order for a few Civil War records from NARA and I was more than pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to copy my records and send them to me. I will absolutely use them again. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fast, reasonable, and accurate. What more could you want? I have used this service several times and will keep coming back.

I am extremely pleased with the Service Gopher Records has provided. The price is good and the service is excellent. They provided exactly what I was looking for and very quickly. The service was easy to access and to follow their directions. My great-mother was married to a soldier in the 1st United States Colored Heavy Artillery. He died of smallpox in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1866, before being discharged. It was remarkable to read my great grandmother's own words in her deposition. Since then I have taken an interest in the entire regiment. [...]

My first experience with Gopher Records was exceptional! Records were returned in a timely fashion at a very reasonable price. The pension record claims for the veteran and subsequently, his widow, were comprised of many pages with priceless information! I will certainly use Gopher Records again!

Having ordered records directly from NARA, I am always amazed at how quickly Gopher Records can send me my documents. They are the best!
