Album is approximately 10″ x 7 “. Photos are glued onto the pages. Photos are in the order they appear in the album.
I believe this album is related to the family of Margaret G. Tait (1896 – 1989) who married Alfred George Misener (1897 – 1990). They were both born in Halifax County and were married in Dartmouth in 1921. On the 1930 U. S. Census they are living in Maryland, USA (with Margaret’s mother, Cora M. (Leadley) Tait also living with them).
I have used the spelling “Misener” as that is how it is written in the album. Other possible spellings could be Misner or Meisner.
