I really like these kind of filter who permit to advance in our researches

I've wrote some complex filters to know who could be there in some war. Who
can be alive after that war to sign some papers and to be able to search

And to be able to do these filters, preparing my database to obtain what I
want to filter to try obtaining answers is one of my genealogy and gramps
satisfactions.
