Re: Memorial Day filter?

I am no where near that organized in my database. That would make such a 
filter way too easy.

I was thinking a filter of

1) ancestors for 8 generations
2) siblings of those ancestors
3) males
4) death dates during war times ( between 1776 and 1781, for instance )

4 would have to be an either/or over maybe 5 ranges, and don't see how 
to do that.

Just running that single range, it goes into an infinite loop. No idea 
why. 🙁

That would catch people who did not die during military service, but 
would give a much reduced list of people to look thru.
