So what about General Zelph? Any speculation as to his genetic heritage or whether he was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I don't suppose anyone thought to keep Zelph's bones? It would be interesting to run DNA testing on it to see who it really was. But I doubt that the bones exist anymore. My suspicion is that if by some chance the bones were still in existence, they would be found to be of much more recent origin. Oh well...
