Hi, irit

You have choices - if your pedigree is clear-looking with good
resolution, then try to 'trace' it in Inkscape. Open your bitmap in
Inkscape, select it, then Path - Trace Bitmap. so you receive vector
image of your pedigree, then you could use Inkscape tools for changes.

second choice is to use raster editor (e.g. GIMP) - but I think it
will be hell (especially if individuals have different sized frames,
also line width..)

Maybe will be better to draw it from scratch? :)
In Inkscape or in Dia? So you will be free to set desired lines, forms etc.

when you press OK, above your bitmap should appear traced image. If
your image is Black/white you can not to see vector image. try to
select it and move.
