The January meeting.

Dear Sir or Madam

Serdecznie zapraszamy na pierwsze w tym roku spotkanie Górnośląskiego Towarzystwa Genealogicznego „Silius Radicum”, to be held 20 stycznia o godzinie 18:00 w siedzibie Muzeum „Górnośląski Park Etnograficzny w Chorzowie”, in a room on the first floor.

Spotkanie będzie kontynuacją cyklu poświęconego mapom Górnego Śląska w przeszłości i obecnie. W tym dniu planowana jest prelekcja, którą wygłosi Pan Henryk Gliński, związana z tą tematyką.
Tematem prelekcji będzieLokalizacja obiektów w terenie na podstawie dawnych map i planów.

W pierwszej części wystąpienia zostanie omówiona georeferencja (geoodniesienie, kalibracja) dawnych map i planów w programie OziExplorer (Windows, wersja trial) na przykładzie planu fryderycjańskiej kolonii Masów (niem. Massow) koło Opola. Wykonana kalibracja planu kolonii umożliwiła porównanie przebiegu granic działek z okresu zakładania kolonii z obecnymi.
W drugiej części zaprezentowana zostanie aplikacja na Androida Maps Explorer, umożliwiająca wyświetlanie jako nakładki na mapy Googli dowolnych map użytkownika i lokalizację w terenie różnych obiektów. Aplikacja ta daje również możliwość porównania dokładności map Messtischblatt i Urmesstischblatt.

Ponieważ jest to pierwsze spotkanie w 2025 roku poświęcimy nieco czasu na sprawy organizacyjne i finansowe GTG. Będzie również czas na rozmowy, wzajemne wsparcie w wyjaśnianiu problemów z odczytem dokumentów genealogicznych, sukcesach iporażkachw przeszukiwaniu archiwów dostępnych w Internecie.
