Try checking on the area around Kassell, Germany. Not sure what state(?) it is in. Some
nuns I used to deliver newspapers to at a retirement home called New Cassel stated that
they named first the nunery and later the retirement home after the location of where
their order started in Germany.
Also, in some census's here in the U.S., when the person said their name was Cassel,
it was listed as Castle. I know because this happened to my gg-grandfather in the 1880
Census.
