Nicole, would you mind expanding your comment as to the areas in Guatemala? I just came to find out that a branch of my family (in fact a brother and sister) took different religious beliefs around the late 1800's. We were raised catholic and the descendants of the sister were raised Jewish for what reasons I do not know.

The last names are Peres, Herrera and Barahona from Huehuetenango (Aguacatan), Guatemala.

Family legend says that they came from Spain to Cuba to Mexico and then decided to stay in Guatemala instead of continuing to Peru.

Any info is appreciated. Thank you. Isabel
