It is pretty well known that I'm in the right place, but Tina has it in Kon~ska, which is correct, but it was a catholic Parish, my grandpa was Lutheran. I think the area has Lutheran church with 1020 Lutherans in it.

If you check the LDS catalog, they have a place named Kon~ska in Czechoslovakia for which they have records clear up to 1915 for the Roman Catholic religion. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,180,0 The Slownik shows it was spelled Ka~ska in Polish. in the powiat of ciescynski. It had its own parish in Kon~ska. The school was in Ludowa. The parish was in Kon~ska in 1590. It belonged to the Jablonskowski diocease. There were 425 Roman Catholic residents, 1020 Lutherans and 6 Jewish.

Thanks Terissa, for this and the photos. I imagine some of those buildings are still there. I'd forgotten that the url below was one I'd been to and not thought to go back to.
