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.
This mod changes the layout of Event dates and places,
combining them into one cell so that the date never wraps.
It also tries to move the event text (not the comment) onto that same line.
It's fairly subtle; see the mod's Wiki article for details.
The native Person Person profile places a plus sign just before children's names
to indicate whether the child has descendants,
and to serve as a hyperlink to a descendant report for that child.
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.
The native Person Profile lists the names of all branches that the profiled person is in.
This mod hides branch names from some non-administrative users.
The exact set of branch names that are hidden from which users is determined by a mod option
See the mod options or the Wiki article for specifics.
The Regroup Person-Move Media mod simply moves the Media section of the Person Profile from below to above the Event Map. It has no mod options
The Regroup Person-Sources mod changes the Person Profile to show only the Source title for each Source Citation as the page loads.
It also adds buttons and single-letter hyperlinks that allow you to display the source and/or citation details,
and possibly to display a source image. It has no mod options.
See the Wiki article for details.
This mod suppresses ALL data about a person if that person is living or private,
and if the user does not have permission to see the person.
(The native Person Profile will hide the name or show just the initials, and will display links to living relatives.)
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.
He was born as Johann Adam Württemberger (with an umlaut), but I use the anglicized spelling becuase it is consistent with other named used in America. His birth date is in dispute. Several Johann Adam Württembergers were born in Württember in the mid-1700, and his birth dates in various online sources reflect that variety. The most common date is 1737, but that date is inconsistent with several life events, so I've chosen the compromise date of "about 1730"
At least from the time he arrived in America, records, he used his middle name "Adam", and all American records (except his son's birth record in a German Lutheran Church) identify him as "Adam Wirtemberger" (or with a surname that could be just a misspelling
arrived in Philadelphia in 1751 on the ship "The Neptune", which embarked from Rotterdam, but he began his journey in Ilbesheim, a town in the Rhemish Palatanate. The Palatinate was a vassal state of the Holy Roman Empire, and is now part of the German state Rhineland-Palatinate" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rhineland-Palatinate,+Germany'>Rhineland-Palatinate. He married Anna Maria Strohecker (also from Wuerttember) 1756, likely in Reading, Pennsylvania, because he owned a home near the center of town in 1758. (See the attached map.)
His family was (at some point) from the Duchy of Württemberg, also part of the Holy Roman Empire. It was adjacent to the Palatinate, but is now part of the German state https://www.google.com/maps/place/Baden-Württemberg' >Baden-Württemberg, whose capital is Stuttgart. Baden-Württemberg is the most southwesterly German state, bordering Switzerland and France (Alsace).
I don't know whether Adam was born in Württemberg or the Palatinate, but I'm saying the former because we know that his family was from there. In any case, he was part of the mass immigration from southwest Germany in the mid-1700s that was driven by the devastation caused by War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Year's War. These immigrants are collectively known as German" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Palatines'>German Palatines, though the Palatinate was only one of several historical districts affected.
FindAGrave Memorial 1233488720 says that he was buried in the Alsace Lutheran Church Cemetery in Reading, but I don't know of any primary souirces for that, and it seems unlikey. In the 1750s and perhaps into the 1770's, he lived in the center of town. Tax lists in 1779, 1881, and 1882Unknown burial. Interesting bio with details of immigration, wife, children, parents, grandparents.
