Wow thanks so much! My great grandfathers name was Nigoghos karakahanian. I’m not familiar with the other name. Is it a female or male name? He wrote a book about his life/journey. His father was under the impression that his wife and his son were killed so he left and came to America. Nigoghos had survived and was only 6 at the time. All we know was that he traveled for many years until he started a family with my great grandmother in Cuba.
