How to create a good Filter for a particular purpose is a question I
find myself often asking. There are obviously a lot of things one can do
with filters but one one specific question that could be asked is 'How
can I create a filter to separate out my side and my wife's/partner's
side of the family?'. Based on comments made on the list occasionally I
suspect that because people are not sure how to do this they often keep
separate databases.
