You have asked for quotes from the book which have never actually addressed it, but in the film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (written by J.K Rowling) it's confirmed that Credence Barebone is actually Aurelius Dumbledore.

In around 1901, Aberforth had a son, Aurelius Dumbledore with a girl that he fell in love with in Godric's Hollow. However, the girl was "sent away," presumably by her parents, either before or after Credence's birth, although Albus was aware of rumours that there was a child. Due to the strained relationship between the Dumbledore brothers, Aberforth neither confided in nor sought Albus' help. Aurelius was eventually sent away to America with an aunt, where he was adopted by Mary Lou Barebone and given a new name, Credence Barebone.

In 1932, Credence attacked Albus and accused him of abandoning him, revealing to Albus that he was supposedly a member of the Dumbledore family. During a duel between the two, Credence's phoenix spread ashes on his body and Albus realised that Credence really was a Dumbledore and that he was actually Aberforth's long-lost son. However, by this point, Credence was dying due to his nature as an Obscurial slowly poisoning him, something that Albus sadly recognised from his experiences with Ariana. After foiling Grindelwald's plans at the walk of the Qilin, Credence, in poor health, accepted his father's offer to come home with him.

Dumbledore Family Tree

So no, Albus and Aberforth were not the last Dumbledores. There was at least one other.

In the books, it’s easiest to infer that the Dumbledore line ended with Albus and Aberforth.

I think it is also difficult to say that the Dumbledores were an ancient wizarding family. After all, Percival married a Muggle-born so he can’t have been very pureblood leaning. If the extended Dumbledore family was, it is most likely they became extinct in the male line other than Percival.

Book 7, which is heavy on Dumbledore lore, speaks as if Albus’s nuclear family was the only Dumbledore family. We pretty much know Albus didn’t have kids so that’s the end of that line. As for Aberforth, I don’t think he’s the type to go around getting girls pregnant. Especially since it’s implied in the books he was a goatfu- uh, he preferred to devote his life on research and experiment on goats. I think from his lifestyle, he was probably asexual but that’s just me assuming.

In the FB movies, Aberforth has a kid so I guess that’s not the end of the line. I don’t know if Credence dies tho cuz I deleted those movies from my head. Nothing in those movies counts as canon information, even if Jo wrote it. Seeing as she changed McGonagall’s age by thirty to fifty years.

r/harrypotter on Reddit: I have discovered something about the Dumbledore siblings names!
July 26, 2021 -

Ok as I think we all know Albus means WHITE.

Aberforth is Welsh for "from the river". There is a river called Forth very near to Edinburgh, a town very important to Rowling. And in Gaelic, part of the river is called Abhainn Dubh, meaning "BLACK river"

Ariana or arian is Welsh for SILVER

And lastly in Fantastic Beast 2, Grindelwald told Credence his name is really Aurelius Dumbledore. Aurelius is Latin for "the GOLDEN one"

WHITE BLACK SILVER GOLD
