My family and I have been trying to find out for years the origin of our last name Daso. Always thought it was Italian but records from ancestry.com prove otherwise. From my great grandfather, all traces back to Peter Daso, in whom this thread is in
reference too. My Uncle was told two brothers came over from Italy, one brother settled in Rockport Township (Cuyahoga County)by Lake Erie and the other brother settled in Toledo, Ohio. Any feedback would be much appreciated by my family and I.

Problem...the LDS has filmed Evangelical and Catholic records of Lambrecht (near Neustadt ad Weinstrasse) for some years prior to 1798 and for some
years after 1839. Peter DASO (and I know the surname should not be Germanic
as spelled this way but other Germanic Daso individuals are reported to have immigrated both before and after Peter Daso) was born on March 5, 1806 in Lambrecht. His wife, Maria Elisabeth, nee SCHMITT, was born December 11,
1802 in Lambrecht. They were married when they arrived in the United States
in 1832. They settled in Liverpool Township, Medina County, Ohio later
moving to Rockport Township, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. (My origin and dates
are from Ohio records.)
Before I start to prepare a German language letter to the Evangelical
Pfarrer in order to learn the names of the parents of this couple so that I might go to the LDS films, would any one have an idea of any other location where church films/records for births, marriage or family sheets of these missing 1799-1838 years might be maintained for Lambrecht?

(About the DASO surname, I have found later spellings for Peter as TASO but
as stated above, I have found several other immigrants from the Germanic
area who used the DASO surname at their time of immigration and this
specific family and their children used DASO.)

You didn't say whether they were catholic or protestant, but I suspect
the former. If so, I think you should go to your local Family History
Center first. According to my notes on the FHL holdings, there may
not be a gap at all in their films of the Lambrecht catholic church
records:

Taufen 1699-1798; Heiraten 1736-1798 ------------------- 0247632
Tote 1699-1798
Taufen, Heiraten, Toten 1699-1843 ------------------- 0367631
Taufen 1843-1884 --------------------------------------- 0367632
Taufen 1884-1906; Heiraten 1826-1873 ------------------- 0367633
Heiraten 1875-1958; Tote 1820-1876 ------------------- 0367634
Tote 1876-1946; Konfirmationen 1774-1869 ----------- 0367635

You should look for their baptisms and marriage in film 0367631, and
their confirmations in film 0367635.

I suspect that this is where the birthdates you have came from anyway.

They may also have siblings represented in the civil records available
for Lambrecht, 1810-1820.

If there is a gap in the records, you can blame it on war. For
details, see
