Schösler = Chasler ??

On various documents Hana Schösler occurs with the family name “Chasler”. Only on the family registration card of her husband Isac Dayles (Daijles), on her certificate of death and on the certificate of death of her son Kelmann, Hana’s surname is recorded as Schösler. On all other documents she was mentioned as Anna/Hanna/Channa surnamed Hasler/Gasler/Chasler. Among others and because of the fact that Ruchel Chasler is listed on the family registration card of Isac Dayles as "sister-in-law" to the head of family, it is very likely that Hana was a "Chasler", a daughter of Enna Lebo and Kalman Chasler and the sister of Jankel, Manuel, Ruchel and Burich Kelmanof Chasler and that the name of Schösler was a writing error/clerical made in 1912 when she arrived from Odessa in Rotterdam.
