I can’t express enough appreciation for the courteous, prompt and affordable service provided by Gopher Records. I have received both the military service record and the veteran’s Civil War pension file for this soldier, and each were filled with nuggets of valuable new information. For those of you who have located a pension record index for a soldier you are researching, let me tell you this: the pension file may be your best tool of the year to unearth new knowledge and to chip away at your brick wall. Mine was filled with affidavits and eye witness accounts—and even revealed a new family member I didn’t know existed.
