Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It sounds tedious, but one important rule in genealogy, is to work with what you can document (not even what you "know" since family traditions are often exaggerated).
www.cyndislist.com is an excellent place to start, and browse through the millions of resources that are out there. That does include tutorials on how to start your own research, and do it reliably. Another free place is rootsweb.com, under mail lists, where you can subscribe to lists for almost every country in the world. Network with persons who can tell you what records are there for Guatemala, and how to access those.
If you focus on your grandfather, you should be able to locate accurate information on his birth, death, marriage, other children, etc. Don't overlook siblings in your research.. they can provide clues. When you have solid information about his family, his grandparents, so forth, then you have names and dates to compare to what you might find concerning any political relatives.
"Jumping" ahead to Spanish records without solid links can be a waste of time and energy.
