We were wondering who the very first Baby Boomer was so we did a little research. The very first baby was born after midnight on the night of December 31, 1945. In the early 80′s, author Landon Y. Jones found an account in the Philadelphia Inquirer which identified Kathleen Casey-Kirschling as having been born at one second after midnight. Though others may claim to be the first, the media has selected Ms. Casey-Kirschling as the first boomer.
