I have never heard of the German surname DASCHIEL, but obviously it does exist. My book on surnames doesn't have it, all I could find is

DASCH: from "Tasche" = bag, pocket
DASCHKE: a Sorbian, Polish or Czech form of first names starting with Da- like Dalimir or Daniel

DASCHIEL could be pronounced either DA-shee-ehl or DA-sheel, I would prefer the second possibility.
