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.

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

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.

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.

Name	Humphrey Madison  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
Gender	Male
Birth	25 Apr 1730 King & Queen County, Virginia, USA [9, 11]
Died	12 Sep 1756 Jackson River, Bath County, Virginia, USA [1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11]
	Died in an attack of Fort Dickinson, where Capt John Dickinson (his brother-in-law) may have been negligent in organizing the defense
Notes	Humphrey Madison's origins are obscure. I know of no contemporaneous documentation of his parents. He is almost always presented as a grandson of President James Madison's great-grandfather, John Madison, Jr (1640-1705). Most online trees and stories list Humphrey as the son of John Madison III and John's first wife Eliza Minor (whose origins appear to be completely undocumented). He is listed as a son of John Madison III's brother Thomas in only a couple of resources that I've found, including the 1903 book Reminisces of Eastern Oregon by Mrs. Elizabeth Lord.
