Hi Claudine

There is an excellent free image viewer / manipulator called irfanview

Available here
http://www.filehippo.com/download_irfanview/

Very useful for cropping, altering images

Try converting to negative it works well on grave stones and census pages

Whatever you do, make a copy first and work on that
