I am also researching the dasher/daescher family and am interested in tracing the family back to Europe but I am not sure who the first Dascher of my family is.My earliest ancestor is a Henry Dascher/Tasher who owned 220 acres of land in Coventry and East Vincent Township in Chester County in Pennsylvania in 1755.He may have been related to a Peter Dasher who is recorded in the county in 1740 but I do not know their connection.The family was Church of the Brethren in America which grew out of the Anabaptist movement in Switzerland and Germany.I believe the family originally came from Canton Bern, Alsace/Loraine, the Palatinate area of Germany or all three.I would love to hear about your family.
