Hello Rita: If you haven't already checked them out, these place name sites may help: 1. Canadian Geographical Names: http://www4.nrcan.gc.ca/earth-sciences/geography-boundary/geographical-name/search/name.php You can search using wildcards * so try o* or oc* or o*mah or ok* or wolf and lots of place names will come up for you to consider. Wolf Head came up for Newfoundland and Labrador. 2. Ontario Locator: http://www.geneofun.on.ca/ontariolocator/ I also suggest that you give some names and dates of whom you are searching for and where you found them on the census or other sources so that others can take a stab at helping you out. Good wishes on your search.
