Dick Eastman's enewsletter has an interesting suggestion this week. If you've been putting off ordering a Civil War pension file, now might be the time. Go to https://gopherrecords.com/de/ to learn more about a website that will locate and send you records from the National Archives for a lower cost than dealing directly with NARA.
Bob Velke, the owner of Gopher Records, says, "NARA is closed for COVID-19 but we are taking advanced orders now. When NARA opens, orders will be processed in the order that they are received. Best of all, you won’t be asked to pay until your documents are ready to be delivered to you."
Here's the information from the home page of Gopher Records. You can also access a price list there. The 50% reduction in cost deal expires on December 31, 2020.
"We specialize in the retrieval of Civil War and other 19th-century military records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), including service records, pensions, medical records, Court Martial records, Bounty Land records, and others. We will duplicate the records of your choice and deliver them faster and at a much lower cost than if you ordered them directly from NARA. If you need records, we will gopher you!"
