Summary
Laurel Louise McCafferty was born January 27, 1961, according to the February Beaver Beacon birth notice, to Arthur “Lano” McCafferty — see Arthur J. "Lano" McCafferty for what else is documented about her father — and an unnamed mother.
Evidence and limits
The notice supplies only the printed family and date context; no civil or medical record is inferred, and her mother is not named. A separate 1960 Beacon notice records an unnamed daughter born to the same Art “Lano” McCafferty a year earlier in Rogers City; no source establishes whether the two girls share a mother.
