My grandfather who i never met is in the background. It would be appreciated if anyone could make him appear clearer.

HI CrossFlatts
I have attached a blowup of the area of your grandfathers face. The big square blotches is due to the scanned image being saved in JPEG format and are image compression artifacts assoicated with that file format and the compression level setting that was used wiht the scan.
My first question would be if you have the image in TIFF format and also do you have the original image. If you have the original image, then scanning to TIFF (and also preferably 16 bit depth) will help tremendously in the possible end result.
Always best to start with the best possible original.
Just a suggestion

Thank you for that. I'll talk to my relative who has the original and get back to you.
