GOPHER RECORDS

If you need records, we will gopher you.

What kind of records are available?

We can retrieve 19th-century records of various types from the National Archives in Washington D.C.  These span the period of the War of 1812, Mexican War, Indian Wars, Civil War (Union), Spanish-American War, and the Philippine Insurrection, as well as for peacetime during that same period.

For military personnel, we can copy service files, pension files, medical records, Court Martial files, and Bounty Land Applications.

We also retrieve records of Federal land transactions (i.e., Land Entry Case files) for military and non-military patentees.

The type of records that are available depends on the time period or war. See the chart here.
