I just recently started tracing genealogy for the many branches of my family.  My maternal grandmother’s maiden name is Ashlaw.  I found through census paperwork that when her great-grandfather started out on his own the family surname was transcribed by the census taker as Ashlaw, but found out that he was a Hasler.  His father (my GGGGgrandfather, Baptist Hasler) was a Canadian born native French speaker (québécois).  I’m sure the name was lost in a French Canadian accent.  I always thought of the Hasler surname as being of German or Swiss lineage.  Unfortunately, I’m at a standstill in my search.
