Thanks Old_Grey, that works much better 
I found this link based on the Trace To Bitmap hint:
https://inkscape.org/en/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html
..To use the tracer, load or import an image, select it, and select the Path > Trace Bitmap item
..After tracing, it is also suggested that the user try Path > Simplify
I just need to get the image to look right, playing with the settings I guess... 
Pity it can't Import a Bitmap such that the Trace Bitmap is not required. But I tried that without success...
I skipped the Connectors initially to check the solution, and that led me on a merry dance as the Part had a red hue, and was not movable, something made me try adding the connectors...
Thanks again,
GeoFritz
