[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9488292, member: 33"]The album may have been presented when new to young Mr. Dumbauld for his attendance at school. There is a Black Creek Township in Pennsylvania, but it is several hundred miles across the state from Uniontown where the photo studio was. The style of the photo is from the 1860s, 20+ years prior to the presentation to Mr. Dumbauld. One possibility is that these were relatives of the Dumbauld family, and the photo was put into the album later. Another possibility is that the presentation to Mr. Dumbauld was not the album, but was something else that is no longer with the inscription. Was the inscription written in the album, or on a separate piece of paper? Also, I didn't do a lot of research but found A. E. Dumbauld in the 1910 U. S.
