Or even Schacher? I found a few trees for the Schacher surname at: http://tribalpages.com/tribe/ancestors?fname=&lname=schacher&dyf=&dyt= With transcription and translation errors, any spelling that sounds the same could be a possible match. But there also are a lot of hits for your exact Shacher surname at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi Maybe researchers of the same surname can tell you a lot more if you contact the ones whose trees seem like your family might be related.
