Pursuing a life passion is only enhanced when you encounter "the best" in individuals serving the community. From start to finish I experienced a level of personalized care and professional attention to detail in Gopher Records. Bob has found his niche and makes what can be complicated, ...straight forward and simple. Communications, speed, technology, privacy and security all have been thought out and practiced likely over and over. The only way I know to sincerely thank is to Pay it Forward, ...to pass to others the link to Gopher Records and share my [...]

Gopher Records did a fabulous job at helping me determine what was available, ordering my requested records, delivering them MUCH more quickly than any other service (including NARA!), and at a much cheaper price. I could not be more pleased with Gopher Records. Nicely done. Will use them again!!

The ordering system is so easy to use, and the service is so quick! I have only had to wait a few days for the documents I order. Very helpful for impatient (excited) genealogists!

I am thrilled with my experience requesting copies of 2 Civil War pension files. I received them within days of submitting my order, and the quality of the scans is fantastic. I was really impressed by how simple and organized the process was, too. As soon as I paid my invoice, I received the link to download the files. I really appreciated how certain things were highlighted like a variance in names in the records, and no medical carded medical records to be found. I will definitely use Gopher Records again when I need files but can't make it [...]

I loved their service and the time it took to deliver.

Bob at Gopher Records was fast and professional. I would recommend the company to any researcher who needs help finding difficult-to-find materials. CA

Gopher Records was fast in response to my requests and was very thorough in what they sent to me and have low rates! I highly recommend using their service!

I discovered Bob Voelke from a page on the National Archives website who was available for hire as a researcher (https://www.archives.gov/research/hire-help/locations?facility=washington-dc). I sent him an e-mail inquiry and he responded quickly. Once I ordered my requested record, I received it in short order.

When the records became available I was notified and the records were all copied and sent to me in a timely manner. I was again notified and was able to copy the records on my computer and make hard copies. Everything was done as discussed in the original contact. I was very pleased with how it was handled and what I received.
