View the Person Association information for sample person, Fernandez El Fernandez, Avis III. He is the Godfather of Garner von Zielinski, Lewis Anderson Sr.
Now view the person referenced in the Godfather association, Garner von Zielinski, Lewis Anderson Sr. Note that he is the Godfather of Garner, Anderson but does not have an association with his Godfather.
