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.

He was born March 17, 1921, in Fergus Falls, the son of Albert and Hilda (Bergerson) Nelson. Bob grew up on the family farm in Dane Prairie Township, where his involvement in Swan Lake Church was a cornerstone for his life.
It was here that his deep faith in God and love of music was born. Bob played the violin for 40 years, and sang in church choirs for 70 years. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Agricultural High School in Crookston, and enlisted in the Navy in 1942. His love of music earned him a commendation from the chaplain for leading hymns during the Protestant services.
He also kept a violin on board his ship, the USS St. Louis. Bob was trained to operate an optical range finder — this was where his fascination with "how things worked" prepared him for a career.
After the war ended, Bob returned to Fergus Falls where he worked as a skilled jeweler at Welanders Jewelry store, and was in choirs and the orchestra.
Due to his training and skills with the optical range finders, Bob began a career in microscope repair, where he was accredited by Bausch and Lomb.
He was also a watchmaker, and received the Watchmaker of the Year award from the Minnesota Watchmakers Association, served as President of the American Watchmakers Institute, and earned the highest honor available (the title of Fellow) from the American Watchmakers Institute.
Despite his professional success, the heart of his full life was his family.
First, his beloved wife, Corinne, who grew up on a neighboring Dane Prairie farm. They were married at Bethlehem Church in Fergus Falls, and lived in love for 62 years. Corinne and Bob's three sons, Bruce, Mark, and Stuart, preceded Bob in death.
His sister, Ingvarda Hanson; a daughter, Marcia Holt; and grandchildren, Anna (Jared) Rendell, Christopher (Courtney) Ferguson, and Amy Ferguson, will miss him dearly.
