Most likely of German descent. I seem to remember when travelling through Guatemala about 10 years ago that one of the locals that I got to know explained that the wealth in Guatemala, especially around Antigua, is concentrated in a number of immigrant families of European (primarily German) descent. There are about 13 large families and they tend to marry within that group.
