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	Jurian Westphal  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Notes	Notes on several Westfall genealogy sites: Walter Westfall's "Westfall Genealogy" site at http://westfall55.com contains an amazing amount of information about the immigration, life, and descendants of Jurian Westphal, plus a good deal of history about New Netherlands, Ulster County, and the city of Kingston. Information about Jurian Westfall's origins, immigration, and life are at http://westfall55.com/c.html His descendancy starts at http:/​/​westfall55​.com/​relfam8​.html Unfortunately, the descendancy is undocumented, each page on the site is awkwardly long, the text all all bold and centered, I haven't really figure out the structure of the site or the flow of the descendancy. So it is quite hard to read, but it's quite a treasure-trove of information. Don Norman's "Descendants of Jurian Westfall" page at https:/​/​hackerscreek​.com/​norman/​WESTFALL/​JURIAN​.htm is also extensive but problematic. It includes 1163 people (born as late as the 1990's), and would take 73 pages to print. It was updated in 2016, but does not link to any profiles, stories, or sources, There are no citations within the descendancy, and just a list of 40 sources (several of which are censuses and other family trees) at the end. Ronald Nevin Wall's "Westfall Family Tree" page at http:/​/​freepages​.rootsweb​.com/​~whitsettwall/​genealogy/​Westfall_​Family_​Tree​.htm would take about 91 pages to print. It is easy on the eye and quite navigable, with a fair number of embedded stories. It doesn't contain profiles or citations, and links to a list of about 40 sources. Ron and Sue Wall's "Westfall Family Page" at http:/​/​whitsettandwall​.com/​Westfall/​Westfall_​homepage​.htm is a landing page with numerous Westfall links, including some pretty good history and 49-printed-page descendancy that focuses on the Westfalls of West Virginia.
Gender	Male
Birth	12 Mar 1621 Leiderdorp, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands [3, 4, 7]
	Best guess. His family would have been from Westphalia; maybe he was
Died	1 Oct 1667 Kingston, Ulster County, New York, USA [3, 4, 7]
Buried	​ Old Dutch Churchyard, Kingston, Ulster County, New York, USA [4]
	FindAGrave Memorial 67448140; No documentation of his burial, but he lived next door to the church, and the minister lived in his house.

My Dutch Immigrant Ancestors Most are distant ancestors of my great grandmother, Olive Irene Kuykendall. One Dutch immigrant is a progenitor of her husband, Leander Travis Hutcheson. All of them immigrated to New Netherland in the early-to-mid 1600s. - Robin Richmond
