I'm afraid not, Lee. The extra line makes no
difference.

For my test case I have this action of the filters:
Principal1 Surname = Scoble -> 506
Tag Type Group = Birth -> 2600
Principal1 Primary Marker on -> 5041
Combined -> 238

Note - I've changed the second line, as some people
have baptisms in place of births - never both.

There are only 2809 people in the project, so it looks
as if the Primary Marker filter refers to ANY EVENT
tag that is primary, and not to the name tag. I have
6001 events in the project, so the 5041 primaries seem
consistent with that.

I also don't understand the first line, as I have 238
Scoble people (not 506), of which 41 were not born
Scoble. All have birth or baptism tags, so I should be
getting 198 matching events.
