Jews in Managua Nicaragua

[knightwriter]

Hello and thank you so much if you can help me.

My father is from Managua and is now deceased. Through DNA I discovered that his forefathers are from the Middle East. He carries the Cohen gene, that is passed down from father to son - this means my father is very possibly Jewish.

With that in mind, I have never met my father's side of the family. He was killed in California during my infancy. I would like to trace his roots in Managua. I am looking for ENGLISH speaking Jews in Managua that might possibly shed some light on where I can locate my father's family. His name is Armando Salano Salinas, and he had a step brother named, Rolando. Both him and his stepbrother lived in California, but after my father's death, I heard his body was flown and buried in Managua. Since then we have lost contact with his side of the family. I might possibly even have a half sister in Managua, as my father was married before.

Does anyone know of any Jews in the Managua area who speak english that I could get into contact with? Or better yet, heard of my father? Thank you so much! Any help would be eternally grateful!
