Trying **soundex** search gives lots of hits.

I would suggest:

Konskie, Radom, Poland

Alternate names: Konskie [Pol], Kinsk [Yid],
Kon'ske [Rus], Kansk, Kintsk, Konsk, Konski, Kuntsk

Jewish Population in 1900: 4,453

35 miles WSW of Radom, 28 miles NNW of Kielce.

Any of you geography mavens have an idea of what town this might be?
My closest guess, so far, would be Sonsk.
