Filters
One of the difficulties in using a large data set is isolating persons matching a certain criteria. We do this with filters. After applying the appropriate filter our picklist or report will show only those persons we want to see.
As a further stage we may wish to set a custom flag to make future identification easier.
Some generous users of TMG have offered these filters as useful for a particular purpose

*Birth tag Date > 1830 AND * Birth tag Date < 1930 AND * Death tag > 1931 END This will get anyone 0-100 years old who haven't died until after the census year. If you'd like to make the cut off shorter than 100 years, adjust the relative date on the first line.
