Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Chasar family name include Chaser, Chasar, Chacero, Chacer, Chasour and many more.

Migration of the Chasar family

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Chasar surname or a spelling variation of the name include : Joseph Chaser who arrived in Philadelphia in 1764.
