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
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.)
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 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.
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.
John Dickinson was a precocious fighting horseman who, in his early 20's, was named captain of a Virginia Militia company that was dubbed" Dickenson's Rangers" (misspelling 'DIckinson'. Fort Dickenson in central Virginia was named for him when he was still a young solider in command of the fort. He led a company in the Battle of Point Pleasant in what is now West Virginia in 1774.
---------------------------------------------------
I spell his surname "Dickinson" (with an i) because He spelled it that way in his will, and because the historical markers for the fort named after him say "Fort Dickinson". But most Virginia records spell his (and his fathers) last name "Dickenson" (with an e), and his his Virginia Militia company is usually called "Dickenson's Rangers".
I use his will's spelling as evidence that his father was the Adam Dickinson who was born in Massachusetts to Hezekiah Dickinson and Abigail Blakeman.
But his children's names are generally spelled with an e, so that's how I spell them.

Fort Dickinson Col. John Dickinson built the fort on land willed to him by his father. The fort was named for him. It no longer exists, but for the marker.
Battle of Point Pleasant 1774 The Battle of Point Pleasant was fought in the Ohio Valley Territory against the Shawnee Indians led by Cornstalk. Winning this battle kept peace on the western front of the colonies, which meant that the Revolutionary War did not have 2 fronts.
