[OSGeo Africa] [OSGeo Africa Re: How to capture cadastral data using QGIS

[Chris]

    Hi ,

    I am no expert on this -- just starting to try and puzzle it all out

    I *think* that this is what you would be after in ArcGIS -- seeing as you 
    mention it  ( apologies Tim , Gavin )

    The Geneology Extension looks particularly uiseful for what I am 
    interested in.


    Please let me know if this is getting anywhere near what you were after ?
