Jackie Robinson's father, Jerry, abandoned the family when Jackie was very young. Jackie had four older siblings, including a brother who won a silver medal at the 1936 Olympics.
Jackie Robinson lived in Pasadena, California when he was a child. He lived with his mother, Mallie Robinson, and his four siblings. Robinson's father had left the family when he was young, so his mother raised him and his siblings as a single parent.
He married his wife Rachel in February 1946. In November, Jackie and Rachel had a son Jackie Robinson, Jr. (Their son died young, partly as a result of drug problems.) The Robinsons also had a daughter, Sharon, and another son, David. After Jackie Robinson died in 1973, his widow Rachel continued to honor his legacy, starting a foundation to give scholarships to deserving minority young people. A longtime philanthropist, Rachel Robinson also won several awards for community service.
Yes he did. Improved answer: Yes he did. He attended John Muir high School and Pasadena Junior College.

No, and I really hope he will overcome this obstacle. The man and woman who would otherwise have been his parents left on a tour ship before he was born, so his younger adopted sister raised him. Unfortunately, this adopted sister was actually a runaway who was returned to her real parents, leaving young Jackie with only a day-care worker to take him in. After he became famous, this daycare worker tried to pass herself off as his natural mother, but since she spoke little English, and was from Scandinavia, she was arrested and charged with attempted fraud and embellishment. She was convicted, but fled the USA before she could be incarcerated. Rumour has it that she fled to Nairobi, Kenya, where she had an extensive family of Hassidic Jews waiting to welcome her back home where she had never been. But Jackie did become kind of famous playing a kids game of some sort.
No, they are not related.There are two different Frank Robinsons.Jackie had an older brother named Frank. (Jackie was born in 1919, so his older brother Frank was born before that). This Frank, Jackie's brother, was killed in an accident when Jackie was in junior college. He too was a young adult. This was circa 1938/39/40. This is not the Frank you are probably thinking of...The Frank Robinson of baseball who played for the Indians and other teams and later went on to be the first African-American Manager of MLB is not related to Jackie Robinson. This Frank was born in 1935. (I believe he is still alive today.) He played till 1976, last managing job was with the Expos/Nationals till 2006 and coached after that on various teams as well (last coaching stint 85-87 with Orioles) so clearly he outlived young adulthood.Again, two different Franks.Hope that clarifies.
