Excerpt: Sample Tips

Here are some tips you'll find in Organize Your Genealogy:

  • Organize yourself first. Genealogy is a mental game, but you need to pay attention to both your mental and physical needs to be productive. Keep yourself hydrated and well fed, and make sure you're getting enough sleep. And once you've done that, note at which time of the day you're most productive and start building your genealogy routine around it to set yourself up for success.
  • Keep the most important items close. When organizing your physical and digital workspaces, make sure you're positioning frequently used items (such as important atlases or a particular ancestor's file) close to you. This will help you cut through the clutter to find the items or files you really need during research.
  • Turn your research into a gift. Need more motivation' Create birthday, wedding or anniversary gifts from your hard-earned research (such as photo albums or decorative family trees). In addition to giving yourself purpose and a concrete deadline, making a gift will also show your appreciation for family and friends and maybe even get them hooked on genealogy.
  • Make specific goals. It's hard to get somewhere if you don't know where you're going. Before you dive into research, make a list of specific things you hope to accomplish and brainstorm some ways you can do so.

Excellent product for my home office use.
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I purchased this to replace my older model one that stopped working due to my mistake. This one was a very nice upgrade, as it has two paper trays, can use paper much larger paper if needed, can print/copy two sided which was a very important factor affecting my decision to purchase this model, and I can print using blue tooth from my computer or my phone and from the phone is another important factor affecting my decision to purchase. It was extremely easy to set up. I went to Epson's website to download the latest software to my laptop computer and to print to .pdf the manual and instruction booklet. It prints, copies and scans fast for my home office use. Things can be printed in the faster draft mode or in a better quality print which is a little slower, but not too much slower. Draft uses less ink. The ink cartridges are less expensive then the ones for my older workforce. I recommend this model for personal and home office use.

This company has terrible customer service and serious flaws in their printer design
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I have never posted a seriously negative review of a product in the past as I try to work with the manufacture to fix their product problems and keep the customer happy. However, after prolonged attempts at resolution with this products issue I have to post something to show my frustration. The company has horrible customer service and does not support its flawed product, so I need to warn other potential customers to avoid my expensive mistake and seek a different manufacturer to purchase your printer and your ink. I bought this printer in December of 2021. It initially worked fine. I left on a vacation in July and returned in August to a long list of items to complete with close deadlines. Many required me to use my printer. Unfortunately, when I turned on my computer, I chose to update the software for the computer and for the printer (automatic requests that I clicked yes on – bad mistake). Once the printer software was updated it rejected the ink in my printer (which has worked previously and was Espon brand). Given very tight deadlines I called all over town and found some new Epson ink 20 miles away. I bought it and returned. The printer rejected the new yellow ink. I called customer service asking for help rolling back my printer software so I could finish my job and was dismissed. Now with a few hours deadline, I had to go buy a NEW printer and new ink (clearly NOT Epson brand), return, install and print. The deadline met, I recontacted Epson and asked them to take my printer back or replace the software as it was useless. I could not even print with black only ink when it rejected the yellow cartridge. They simply ignored me but asked for receipts, etc. to prove I bought new Epson Ink. That required more of my time to scan (with my new printer mind you), fill out forms, and submit. Weeks later they sent me a single new yellow ink cartridge. By then I was traveling again. I returned a month later, the ink was in my mail. I installed it – It does not work so now 6 weeks after the original problem I still cannot use my printer. I suspect to get any help I will need to go through all the same paperwork and hassle and will have no resolution of the software issue, which is the real problem, not the ink. Bottom line – this is a deeply flawed device with very touchy software glitches. The company is so paranoid to protect their ink business that they had made their device(s) unusable. I now see they were sued and they settled that lawsuit a few years ago. What they have not done is fix the problem nor do they want to help customers who have problems. I strongly recommend you not buy this device and seek a different manufacturer (probably none of their devices after reading the lawsuit information and noting they have not agreed to resolve the problem).
