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 changes that descendant indicator to a down-arrow. It also adds an up-arrow as an indicator that parents have ancestors. The ancestor indicator is a hyperlink to a parents' ancestor chart.

See the mod options or the Wiki article for specifics.

Name	Archie Lee Coffman  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
Suffix	Jr
Notes	Archie was an avuncular gentleman with a great love of family, and was loved by many. He lived in the Detroit area his entire life, near his extended family, whom he hosted at his home frequently. I only met him a couple of times; the last at a small family reunion he hosted at his home in about 1998. He was patriotic, and proud of his military service. In the last few years of his live, he maintain an email discussion list, and send frequent emails to friends and family. Many were written by Archie or his sister, Helen, and he passed on other family messages and topical message of the day. The messages were quite clever and interesting, and non-infrequently displayed his conservative political bent. - Robin His online obituary, with condolence messages memorializes him much better than I did.
