Laurence was the son of Andrew Szczepaniak and Peterunia Rybyernik according to his death certificate. The exact spelling of his mother's name is uncertain because it was difficult to read on the certificate. The spelling of the family name as "Szczepaniak" is consistent in St. Stanislaus Church records. However, it is spelled in various ways on other records.

The year of birth for Laurence is between 1868 and 1874. The 1910 census dated in April 25, records his age as 39 and his death certificate dated 1 Sept 1913 also records him as 39. The burial record for Wawrzyn (Laurence in Polish) Szczepaniak was found in FindMyPast, Baltimore Roman Catholic Parish Record Set, Burials 1905-1916, St. Stanislaus Church, 1913 folio 80. It states that he is a widower and age 45 making his birth as early as 1868. Assuming the age on the 1910 census is correct as 39, three years later, when he died, he would be 42 years old.

In the book, Tombstone Inscriptions of St. Stanislaus Cemetery, Baltimore, MD by Baltimore County Genealogical Society, on page 20 the name Wawrzyn Szepaniak/ 190____(unreadable), was entered for Section "C" Mother of Sorrows, Row 6 Grave 2. Because the dates on the tombstone were unreadable it is possible he is the same man as Laurence son of Andrew and Peterunia Szczepaniak.
