This mod changes the layout of the Person Profile in several ways, with the intent of making it easier to read. For example,

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.

It makes numerous additional changes, some of which are controlled by mod options. See the Wiki article for details.

Draft Cards

US WWII Draft Cards Young Men 1940-1947 Massachusetts Walter Allen Burns Sr About U.S. WWII Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947 This database contains World War II draft registration cards from multiple registrations filled out by men in select states aged 18–44. Historical Background The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. About a year before, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history because of rising world conflicts. Multiple registrations held between November 1940 and October 1946 signed up more than 50 million American men aged 18–45 for the draft. Cards in This Database This database contains images and indexes for registration cards filled out by men born between the years of 1898 and 1929 from for all states with the exception of Maine. The draft cards from the state of Maine were destroyed before they could be digitized. The cards are potentially valuable sources of genealogical and family information, with details that can include: Name Serial Number Address and/or Mailing Address Telephone Age Place of Birth Country of Citizenship Employer’s Name Place of Employment (address) Name and Address of Person who will always know Registrant’s Address, Relationship to Registrant Description: race, eyes, weight, complexion, hair Year of Registration The collection includes some replacement cards for registration cards that were destroyed. These cards list a name.
