Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Enlargement of map
« on: Yesterday at 00:08 »
Unfortunately, enlarging your image only pixelates it without improving any detail.

If you know the full details of the block given in your ancestor's land grant, you should be able to find it in this series of maps:
https://www.nswlrs.com.au/Parish-and-Historical-Maps

It is a bit of a minefield so be sure to thoroughly read the instructions first.

Scanning them at a high resolution should give you good results for most. Any you're not happy with, post them on here for further advice or perhaps digital restoring/cleaning/improvement if that's appropriate.

Technical Help / Re: Software GEDCOM Compatability Tests

Probably not exactly the same thing as the table you mention but this chart summing up Keith Riggle's findings in his articles might be useful:
https://genealogytools.com/family-tree-maker-to-gedcom-to-other-apps-crosswalk/
You have to click on the chart to open it to full size and scroll sideways to see all the apps tested.

Anyway, hope you find the one you're looking for. If so please let us know. Just a final thought: Keith several times mentions a series of blogs by Tamura Jones. I've read a few of that person's articles and can't recall seeing anything like you mention but he might also be worth checking out, at https://tamurajones.net/

Cheers,
Peter

Hi, F1fan.

I think what you're looking for is a series of articles by Keith Riggle on GenealogyTools.com, called
"Family Tree Software Alternatives".

The first one is here: https://genealogytools.com/replacing-family-tree-maker-part-1-how-to-scrub-your-data/
and the rest are listed (with links) after this first article but before people's comments on the article.

My guess would be late 1940s to very early 1950s; and age, late teens to 20ish.
