I am not familiar with any of those and have only a limited/basic computer knowledge.
Right now I'm trying the idea you proposed earlier -
Restore a copy of the game from your 10/1/82 backup. Change the franchise ID of your Omaha team from Omaha4*IND1 to Omaha7. Then run the game until it reaches the offseason. Then check to make sure that the game did not update the franchise id (it should remain Omaha7 is your milbteams.csv file is current). Then move the game forward to the 1983 season, and beyond. Then check Omaha's history. There should now be a connection between your 1982 and 1983 seasons (and 1984, 1985, etc.), as shown on the history page. However, I do not know if (I doubt) that there will be history that connects prior seasons (1969-1981).
If this works... thinking of just going thru each minor league team and changing the franchise ID to what it converts to with the update. For example,
Omaha4*IND1
Jacksonville5*IND2
CharlestonSC9*IND3
FortMyers2*IND3
GCL_Royals*IND4
GenevaNY3*IND4
become
Omaha7
Jacksonville5
CharlestonSC9
FortMyers2
GCL_Royals1
GenevaNY3
