(The native Person Profile will hide the name or show just the initials, and will display links to living relatives.)

1. It moves some the profiled person's events below the person's Parent and Family data,
2. Adds headings (e.g. Parents, Family or Families, Media, Event Map) above each block of data, and
3. Moves 'metadata' (e.g. the personID, date of last change, and links to the Group Sheet and Family Chart) into headings.

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.

Residence	1840 Bedford Co, TN [6]  –  Azwell Horton, 20-29, w/ a female (presumably Sarah; 20-29) & 2 sons (presumably Dennis and Advil) under 5, plus a female between 80 and 89. Matches the "Azre" Horton in the 1850 Census, but doesn't have enough specifics to be definite match.
Residence	1850 [5]  –  "A" Horton (age 40), wife Sarah(35), children Dennis(12), Advil(11), John(9), James(3), Elizabeth(6)
Residence	1860 [3]  –  "Asbery" Horton (age 38) with wife "Sallie", and children John(18), Elizabeth(16), James A(13), Ardeny(11), Thomas J(8), William W(6), and Sidney A(2)

Residence	1880 [1]  –  Precinct 3; As "A Horton" (age 64), with new wife M.A.(46), daughter V.C.(16), and a servant named "Willey" (19). But I suspect that the servant was Azre's son Will, who was 21.
