Help finding ancestors - Nicaragua

Hello, 

I am requesting your help in my search to find my great-grandmother Maria Eugenia Herrera Hernández (G7N7-X8L) and my great-grandfather Juan de Dios Ochoa Leiva (G7N7-FDV). When my grandmother was very young, both of her parents died and she and her twelve siblings were left as orphans in poverty-stricken Nicaragua. It is presumed that both of her parents died between the late 1930’s to the mid/late 1940s. I am most interested in finding my great-grandmother Maria Eugenia Hernández as I have had no luck discovering any information about her. Oddly enough, I was able to find several documents of my maternal great-grandmothers siblings and her parents, Lizandro Herrera Lara (GWMQ-9BD) and Nazaria Hernández Silva (GWMQ-QFG). As my grandmother gets older, I worry that she will not be able to discover or truly know who her parents were. I would truly appreciate your help in any way, as it would mean so much to my family and myself. Thank you.

    For starters ...

    As an aside ...

    .

    I am "Tagging" this (General) 'Question' of yours, in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to the 'Group' being "Latin American Genealogy Research" [ which includes: Nicaragu ], in the Forum; so that, the members of that group can answer/assist you.

    .

    That Group is "Public", which you can join, if you wish.

    .

    I hope this helps.
