In this work we report the search for nebulosities associated with the candidate Wolf-Rayet stars listed in Massey el al (1992) in the irregular galaxy IC 10, based upon Hα, [S II], and [O III] direct images and imaging Fabry-Pérot spectroscopy. Approximately 95% of the WR candidate stars we analyzed are found within nebulae. For most of these nebulae, we find broad wings on their Hα radial-velocity profiles. For some of the nebulae, the Hα velocity profiles are broadened with a typical velocity difference of 80–100 kms1.
