    Additional information about Brooke Hyland’s fathers side of the family. Brooke’s paternal grandfather was Dale Jackson Hyland 1941-1997. Dale’s parents were William J Hyland and Mildred C. Marquis. I believe Brooke’s paternal grandmother was Shirley S. Hyland but not confident. Also I think Brooke’s father should be listed as French as well being that there is a “Marquis” in the family which is usually French.
