My mother says that he is one on my relitives. I would like to know how but she is not sure. I was wondering if anybody knew if he had kids and there name?Or his mother/father/aunt/uncle/cusio... name?<br>
If you dont know who he is it is one of the Anglin Brothers who tried to run away from Alcatraz.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I did a Google search for "John William Anglin" and read the first 5 pages of their listings (including the one at Wikipedia), but none of them gave any family info. Nearly all they talked about was his escape.

The copy of his wanted poster, in the Wikipedia article and elsewhere, says he was born May 2, 1930 in Donaldsonville, Georgia. But then the poster goes on to say that that is "not supported by birth records" -- however, that statement might still be helpful because maybe he was born at home just outside Donaldsonville, or maybe his birth wasn't recorded, or the records got destroyed or lost, etc. ... or he could have been born not far from there, so maybe that could be at least a lead for you.
