Donna,

Thanks for reading my message.

I will tell you what I know about my grandfather. He was born around the early 1900's. My grandmother was born in 1912. Her name was Bessie Fondren. She lived in Rome, GA in 1930. That's where my mother was born on 6-1-1930. She was told that her father's name was Zachary Brand & that he was sentenced to life in prison for murder when she was 3 weeks old. Her mother took her to the jail once so that her father could see her. She was told in later years that he had escaped, been recaptured and sentenced to Alcatraz. I have not been able to find a complete inmate list for Alcatraz yet. We would both like to know what happened to him....is he alive or dead? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. My grandmother died several years ago, unfortunately, before I became involved in the search. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

My e-mail is h0nehe@aol.com (the 0 is a zero, not the letter O)
Johnnie
