      "Luz Mesa lived at Finca San Antonio Palajunoc when Bejamin Jacobs came to work there as an auditor. There they met and they got married. Since Benjamin was Jewish and Luz was Catholic, they only married for civil reasons in the town "El Palmar"."

  • Notes 
    • JACOBS OF GUATEMALA - NAMING CONVENTION.
      The unusual (by British standards) naming convention confused me until it was explained.

      In the UK when a Mr Jacobs marries a Miss Jackson the norm is that the family name will remain as Jacobs, or possibly Jackson-Jacobs, and this will remain so for their children.

      So their son, Louis would be Louis Jackson-Jacobs.
      When he married Isabel Jones the family name would normally remain Jackson-Jacobs, or more rarely, Jones-Jackson-Jacobs.

      However it would appear that in Guatemala the convention is different.
      Using the same example, the family name would become Jacobs Jackson.
      Their son, Louis would be Louis Jacobs-Jackson.

      However, when he married Isabel Jones, the Jackson (his mother's maiden name) would be dropped and the family name would become Jacobs-Jones.

      And so on..
