I'm new to this site but wanted to leave my Arias info.
My name is Leslie Arias born in Amatitlan Guatemala, my brother's name is Mario David Arias born Villanueva Guatemala. We lived in the Los Angeles area but are now living in Virginia.
Our father was Daniel Arias y Arias born in Villanueva Guatemala. His mother was Estefana Arias (known as Ester) and his dad was Juan Arias. That's why he ended up with the double Arias name...pretty cool.
My father might have left a lot of kids everywhere that we might not know about...that sounds so bad but it's true.
In other words I probably have a lot of step brothers and sisters.

Hi Leslie, I'm from Guatemala City but my dad's family is from Antigua Guatemala, his family is huge, and I am pretty sure that it's the same family. I have a Family Tree and there is an Ester's name there. If you want me to send it to you my Email is lbenitez3@hotmail.com. And don't feel bad, I understand the Arias family pretty good, my dad, so you have an idea, had 2 kids outside the marriage when he was 62. My Dad's grandmother had 22 kids. We are related to the Camposeco's family, if you don't know who he was, a football soccer player well known in Guatemala. Also there were (an aunt & uncle) 2 twin sisters that married 2 twin brothers. A lot of strange things, but extent family and very proud of being part of.

Leslie,
My last name is also Arias and I am from Guatemala, although my family is originally from Costa Rica. My wife, on the other hand is Arias from Guatemala. So she might recognize some of the names you mentioned. I'll run it by her. My kids also have the double Arias last name, that is funny.
Rgds,
Ricardo
