Fast service
The speed -- and price -- that Gopher provides records continues to impress me. I recently requested carded medical and service records for a Civil War soldier who I'm researching. I had his service records on order through NARA for four months and was still waiting. Gopher got them to me in four days and helped me cancel my NARA order. Gopher will always be my first stop for future records requests.

Bounty Land Record
I couldn't find my soldier's name on the Fold3 index for a bounty-land warrant application file. Bob confirmed the index is incomplete (Fold3 is up to the letter L). I was happy to receive the file, I was afraid it was lost. Excellent service once again! Highly recommended!

Pension file receipt
Thank you for providing this in-depth pension file of a soldier serving our country from 1854-1878. The information gleaned within this file will help to acquire his VA soldier recognition headstone at the poor farm cemetery at Milwaukee County Grounds.

Records retrieval from National Archives
I was very happy with the results and records I received. Excellent communication, and they helped to find all the records for my Mexican War Veteran. Fast service and very reasonable price for all the records I received. Very clear pricing instructions up front, and excellent follow up when more records were possibly located. Highly recommend for others who cannot reach the Archives themselves. Will definitely recommend to all fellow researchers. Thanks so much, Gopher Records!

Stellar service!
I’m honestly blown away by how quickly I received this pension. That’s even after an issue where NARA hadn’t refiled it yet due to a previous order. I’m also blown away by the price, considering it’s a lot less than NARA charges and NARA takes months to fulfill it. On top of that, Bob is an excellent communicator and the scans are a lot clearer than scans I’ve seen directly from NARA. All-in-all the experience was a 10 out of 10 and I’m sure I’ll be placing another order in the near future.

Good communication, faster and cheaper than through NARA
Gopher records got me correct record I needed, and at a lower price and a quicker turnaround than going through the government agency. Will use again next time I need a pension record!

NARA Civil War Record Search
I found out about Gopher Records on Facebook and I am glad I did. Bob explained his services and steered me in the right direction. The customer service of Gopher Records is second to none and I could not be more happy with the results. I now have in-depth Civil War records of my ancestors and I am able to fill in more facts on the family tree and my family's story. I am grateful to Bob and Gopher Records.
