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.

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.
