I have been trying to get a pension file for several years, it took 18 months for NARA to share with me that it was held by the VA Office, and another researcher I'd paid to find the file never replied back. Gopher Records didn't charge me anything until they found the record and contacted the VA pensions office for me(the widow lived passed 1920), and were able to quickly find the records for me and had them to me within a month. I am now a Gopher Records addict and know I can trust them to find the complex files [...]

Once again Gopher Records came through! Prompt and quality service from start to finish.

Another fast and accurate record retrieval by Gopher Records. I will be telling my client about the service and how easy it is to order a Civil War pension record. Thank you!

I placed a rather large order for Pension & CMSR files that consisted of (5) brothers serving in the Civil War and I probably complicated the order as one of the brothers had (5) different service records. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and product that Bob & Gopher Records delivered to me! Gopher Records had been recommended by Cyndi Ingle and Cari A Taplin, at a virtual course at GRIP this past summer and I wish I had known about Gopher Records before then! I will continue more reviewing on my next, 2nd Order.

I received sooooo much Spanish/American War pension information from Gopher record it was amazing! In the beginning Bob Velke told me that it could take months to get my great Uncle's pension information from the National Archives......and it did.....but Bob did not forget about me and was able to get the pension records I was looking for, and so much more, like a copy of Charles' death record, the dates he mustered in and out of the army, which service of war he served in, that he received an HONORABLE discharge, which I did not have. Now that I [...]

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 was very pleased with how quickly Gopher Records was able to locate my relative's Civil War pension file and sent it to me. The info provided both clarification and documents that were helpful.

I have been using Gopher Records services for acquiring pension and service records for Veterans I'm researching. These records help me process applications for VA headstones to Honor our Veterans. They have been extremely helpful in supplying these records quickly and accurately. The documents are always clear and legible.

I appreciate your service greatly! I requested the Civil War Pension records for my great-great grandfather. I immediately received a response with a confirmation that the order had been received. I then received the records within two weeks! The images were clear and crisp. Your fees are extremely reasonable for the service that you provide. I will definitely be using your company multiple times in the near future. Thank you so much!

I had heard of Gopher Records before and decided to try them out. I am very satisfied with the results. I have used the National Archives process long before COVID and that was good but Gopher Records got results much faster and was well worth the price.
