Both photographs were taken in the 1860s, so you need to look for boys born around 1855-1860, not 1826 and 1831. When those two boys were around the age of the boys seen in these photographs, photography was not even available to the general public yet, and certainly not as albumen prints (which only became widely available in 1855). These two portraits are in carte-de-visite format, which was the dominant visual medium of the 1860s. Good luck with your genealogical researches. All best, Paul Frecker. jabezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039575899902222410noreply@blogger.com
