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.

Name	Christian Meyer  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Suffix	Sr
Notes	Christian Moyer was born in 1678, reportedly in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, and settled near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (He may have come from nearby Wurttemberg). He is my 8x great grandfather, though my Richmond, Wattenbarger, Barger, and Reiff lines. He is not (as far as I know) related to Christopher Moyers, who was also born in Rhineland-Palatinate, in 1708, and settled in Germantown, Orange County, Virginia. (His father, George, was born in nearby Wurttemberg.) Christopher is my 6xgreat-grandfather, through my Richmond, Hutcheson, and Myers/Moyers lines. The two lines intersect with my grandparents, Clarence Richmond (descendant of Christian Moyer) and Edith Hutcheson (descendant of Christopher Moyers). Their wives also came from Rhineland-Palatinate: Christian Moyer: Anna Barbara Bergery Christopher MoyersMary Catherine Vogt Parenthetically. A 1934 article titled "Richard Penn's Manor of Andolhea", in Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, identifies a Christian Meir/Moyer as a settler of Swatara Twp on Lancaster County as early as 1723 and as late as 1750. Swatara Twp is almost 100 miles from the homes of our Christian Moyers Jr and Sr, so the Christian Moyer of Lancaster County must be a different person.
Gender	Male
Birth	1676 Palatinate, Holy Roman Empire [1, 4]
	He is also called Meyer, but he used the spelling Moyer. FindAGrave says born in Palatinate;Mennonite Records (not collected contemporaneously) say Switzerland
Died	Bef Jun 1751 Franconia, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA [1, 4]
Buried	​ Delps Cemetery, Harleysville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA [1]
