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.

Ileen Hilda Christensen was born November 16, 1925, at Nassau, Minnesota; the daughter of Charles and Hilda (Lau) Wirkus. She attended grammar school in Nassau and graduated from Marietta, MN High School in 1943. She attended Madison, MN Normal Teacher's Training, followed by two years at Wortburgh College in Waverly, Iowa. She also attended Moorhead State College, Moorhead, MN. Ileen was united in marriage on June 19, 1955, at Nassau, MN with Clifford Christensen.
Following their marriage, the couple lived on the family farm south of Big Stone City, SD and later moved into Big Stone City. Ileen was a school teacher for 39 years, teaching in the school systems of Boyd, MN, Revillo, SD, Milbank, SD, Big Stone City, SD and in the rural schools in Lac Qui Parle County, MN. She retired from teaching in 1990.
Ileen was a member of the American Lutheran Church in Milbank and a devoted singer with the Big Stone Area Community Chorus. She enjoyed being a long-time member of the homemakers club, and the Chat and Do Club. The 4-H program was also a very important part of her and her children's life. She assisted many area youth with a variety of 4-H activities and was recognized, along with Clifford, as one of Grant County's Friends of 4-H.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Clifford; one son, Roger (Sandy) Christensen; two daughters, Linda (Troy) Asher, and Janel (Paul) Andrews; 8 grandchildren; and one brother, Merlin Wirkus. She was preceded in death by her parents.
