Clean up my grandad please
« on: Saturday 06 October 07 09:53 BST (UK) »
Hi, was wondering if some kind person would clean up my grandad for me.  He died before I was born and I had never even seen a photograph of him until recently - while I was talking to my aunt on the phone about my family history research I mentioned that I had no idea what he looked like and she sent me a copy of this photograph.  So in my mid-30's I finally 'met' my grandad  :)



-edit- above is a low res. copy of the pic to show it on the thread, the link below contains the high res image

Gurman, esp Noah!

wow, thanks jc, that's amazing work.  And, yes please, if you can remove the shadow on his face that'd be really interesting to see  :) 
Thanks ever so much.
