Very Pleased
I'm very pleased with the service I got from Gopher Records. It was quicker and more affordable than NARA. The amount of information discovered was surprisingly small relative to what could be expected, so I was very pleased when Bob gave me excellent suggestions based on his expertise on where to search next. I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone.

Great service as usual
As always, fast service (once the government reopened after shutdown!), cheaper than National Archives, super high quality scans.

Excellent Service
I sent a request for records for a Union soldier I was doing research on and the information I requested came to me in full within two weeks. The documents were scanned, so all I needed to do was download them to my computer and review them at my leisure. I highly recommend Gopher to anyone who is in need of National Archives research.

great grandfather
For a very cheap price I found out things about my great grandfather I never knew. I had searched his records before however Gopher Records came up with military records I failed to find. Great people to work with.

Military and Pension Records
I always use Gopher Records for all my military, pension, and bounty land records requests. They are fast and the product is superior to that you receive from the National Archives.

Jacob Myers Pension File
While the file was not for my Jacob Myers, it was interesting to read about his Civil War activity. I had based my request on someone's tree who incorrectly identified this Jacob Myers as my ancestor of the same name. I had my doubts, but the only way to eliminate this as my Jacob Myers was to access the pension file. Negative evidence is still evidence.
I appreciate the work of Gopher Records in quickly providing the file for my perusal. I will definitely be using the service again. The scans were excellent. Thanks again.

Fast, accurate service
I needed to order several land entry files for a genealogy client and Gopher Records got exactly what I needed back to me within days. I'm very happy my first time using this service and will definitely use them again when I need NARA records!

Civil War Records request
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 [...]

Civil War Pension Service
Bob and the team at Gopher Records has come through once again. The speed of the service, the qualiity of the scanning, and eye to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend the services of Gopher records to any historian, genealogist, or collector of military ephemera. All you need to do is try Gopher once and you will "Gopher" more records in the future with them.
