I highly recommend the services of this organization. Though I live a stone's throw away from our nation's capital I had no clue how to obtain the civil war records of my husband's great grandfather who is buried at Arlington National cemetery. I knew he would enjoy having these. This service saved me having to travel downtown and try and figure out how to request and copy them. They arrived in my email inbox in a matter of a couple weeks after the request. We learned more about this brave man, from [...]

A friend recommended your service and I recently used it for the first time. I am very please with your process and the information you provided. I will be using you again next time. Thank you!

I first learned about Gopher Records through Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. For years I had wanted to visit NARA myself and get copies of my ancestors' pension files. But years went by and I never got there. When I read about Gopher Records, I decided this was my chance. So far I have ordered 5 pension files and 2 service records. Bob and his team did not disappoint! The images are very clear and the information has definitely helped further my research. In fact, one of the pension files is the [...]

I’ve ordered and promptly received Civil War records for 2 ancestors. Gopher provides a valuable service for those researching Civil War soldiers.

Excellent service!! Found me what I was looking for in record time! More affordable than NARA.

Service was quick and accurate. I appreciate the work and fast turn around.

The records retrieved by Gopher Records are fantastic! The pension file contained 304 pages and I received digital copies of them all. The genealogical information I'm extracting is very helpful with my research and I will be using Gopher Records again very soon!

We had searched all avenues, I have mailed the Archives with a request form for the same information requested from Gopher. They informed me there was no information available. Not only did we get the information we had hoped for, but we got more!! Thanks so much.

Gopher Records was recommended to me by someone who has used it frequently. She helped me try to find the pension record in other places and when we both came up "dry," she suggested Gopher. The 86-page file was copied and sent to me in less than two weeks. Amazing service. I have already recommended Gopher to others I knew who also research military records. Thanks for a job well done.

Gopher Records has been a great resource for helping us obtain Civil War Pension records. In the last record we ordered, it included the death certificate for the solider living in the state of Nebraska, which was very helpful to our research! Gopher Records' website is easy to use and the turnaround time is very quick. We will continue to use them in the future.
