It always puzzled me how men in the past could know their children were theirs before DNA testing came around. Especially in non-conventional situations.
For example, my grandfather had 2 out of wedlock sons in the 1960s and he assumed their paternity. How did he know they were really his? I doubt any man sound of mind would do that these days without a paternity test.
I never mentioned this to him out of respect but it's really hard to grasp in my head.

Men were probably more honorable back then and did not care if the child was biologically theirs.

Maybe because the mother told him they were his? How do you trust what anyone says without a lie detector test?
