If you notice all the addresses above are near E 60s or in the 60th block of St Clair Ave.This is the old Slovenian neighborhood, where St Vitus Slovenian RC Church is still located.Cleveland is the second largest Slovenian city in the world!
There are 2 KONCAN and 9 KONCHAN found in Ohio phone book, all in the Cleveland area.

My guess is that these are the same surnames as in Slovenian the original sp has a diacritic above the C giving it CH sound.There are many listings in the Slovenian phone book for KONÈAN but none for KONCAN.
You may want to check with Gary Gorsha, as I believe he has Cleveland connections.
