Can anyone tell me if "Ocomah Co" is is Ontario? I can find an "Okemah County" in Oklahoma but I'm looking for something in Ontario or Quebec (Canada Bas?). I'm not sure that's the correct spelling but that's how it's recorded on a marriage record I have. I can find an "Oconto" in Frontenac County but I'm not sure this is the right place. Supposedly the mother of the bride lived around "Wolf's Head" which I believe is around Lake Superior but then there is a "Wolfe's Island" near Kingston which I believe is in Frontenac County. My Ontario geography is terrible so any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Rita Chernoff

Hi Rita don't see such a county but perhaps if you can give the names etc I can look at them and possibly determine from there.

Canada Bas is Lower Canada or what is now is Quebec. I can find no places spelled Ocomah or even that start with "Oc". And I found no county in Quebec that sounded like that. Sorry.

Hi Rita, Any chance it could be Ompah which is in Palmerston Twp., Frontenac Co.? Connie On 25/04/2012 10:04 AM, Rita Chernoff wrote: > Can anyone tell me if "Ocomah Co" is is Ontario?
