This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways,
with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,
It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.
It makes numerous additional changes, some of which are controlled by mod options.
See the Wiki article for details.
The Person Profile displays a list of the profiled person's branches.
Depending on mod options, this mod can turn each branch name in that list into a hyperlink that pops up a list of all branch members.
This mod's options determine whether anonymous visitors and logged-in users are allowed to see the detailed branch information, and thus whether the branch are actually hyperlinked.
While this mod controls which information about branches can be seen by different classes of site visitors,
The separate Regroup Person-Hide Branches mod controls which branches are visible to those classes of visitors.
Also, the Show Branch Users mod adds branch-assigned users to the list of branch members in the popup box.
This mod's purpose is to treat the standard biological Parent-Child relationship as an unstated default.
The exact terms to be ignored (such as 'natural', 'birth', or 'biological') must be specified as mod options.

Myrna Louise Christensen (ID:I7260) b. 7 Mar 1930, Kenmare, Ward County, North Dakota, USA d. 8 Apr 2012, Lake Forest, Lake County, Illinois, USA (Age 82 years)
Wes graduated from the University of North Dakota School of Law, Grand Forks, ND where he received his B.S. in 1949 and his J.D. in 1951.
He married Myrna L. Christensen on June 8, 1951 in Kenmare, ND. They moved to the Chicago area where he practiced law with the Jewel Foods, Inc. for 15 years. He then became the President of Jewell Foods, Inc a chain grocery company based in Chicago.
He resigned from Jewell and became the CEO of Northern Trust Corporation in Chicago. Wes continued with Northern Trust until his retirement in 1990, at which time Northern Trust was the 11th most profitable of the 100 largest banks in the United States.
Wes was also an active member of Chicago's philanthropic circles. He had been a director of two corporate foundations, the Quaker Oats Foundation and the Illinois Tool Works Foundation, as well as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Chicago United Way/Crusade of Mercy. He also had served as a director of several health-care groups, including the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Lake Forest Hospital and Children's Memorial Hospital. His recent volunteer activities focused on organizations that serve children, particularly their educational needs. He was a director of Voices for Illinois Children, a nonpartisan child-advocacy organization, and the Big Shoulders program, an education-support program for Chicago's inner-city Catholic schools.
Wes is survived by his wife, Myrna, and three daughters, Mia Kammerer, Mari Morsch and Kari Falls.
