We first meet him, by reference, in Goblet of Fire, when Dumbledore
refers to Abe not worrying about headlines. We actually see his
picture in Order of the Phoenix, when Moody shows it to Harry. J.K.
Rowling, in http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/news_view.cfm?id=80:

Q:Why is the barman of the Hog's Head vaguely familiar to Harry? Is he
Dumbledore's brother?

"Ooh—you are getting good. Why do you think that it is Aberforth?
[Audience member: Various clues. He smells of goats and he looks a bit
like Dumbledore]. I was quite proud of that clue. That is all that I
am going to say. [Laughter]. Well yes, obviously. I like the goat
clue—I sniggered to myself about that one."

Now, as far as Abe standing in for Albus, not much we can find about
that. But, as far as Albus standing in for Abe, we do have one little
clue: Sirius has told Harry that Abe has a long-standing grudge
against Dung Fletcher. Yet, Harry sees Abe dealing with Dung over
Sirius' posessions. 

I am not saying that I even believe that this is a fact. All I'm
saying is that Rowling can be VERY tricky, so when she says that
Dumbledore is definitely dead, it is worth noting that there is more
than one Dumbledore running around.
