Welcome,
Milaskowa - it is a Slavic surname with ancient roots.
Surname Milas - nice, favorite [= mily, ulubiony - милый, любимый] it is a Croatian, Greek, Polish, French Gaul and .. .
Milashkov and Milashkova - these are very rare Russian-Belarusian surnames, probably with Polish roots.

Hello.
First of all, surname with -owa ending is derivative from some male surname. It is necessary to find out male version. I think it could be Milasek, Milaszek, Miláček, maybe Milaszkiewicz, Milaskiewicz, and similar.

Not all of them are polish. I cant judge right now what country your grandma might come from.

Definitely -owa exists in polish and czech (-ová) language, but usage is a bit different in different countries.

Thanks to all.
Found a similar surname in one document. Looks similar. But in the end its -ow, not -owa. Its strange. On the other hand, there are all surnames like this has -ow. Maybe writing rules in that time?

Hi! Here the ow ending can be simply a plural genitive case of the surname. The sentence it was used in could be similar to Anna Ewa the daughter of the spouses X and Y Milaskow. You will learn more when you get your hands on the scan of the document in question. The singular nominativ case could be Milasek, which itself could be derived from Milas. It would be nothing unusuall if in a different document L got subsituted by Ł and S got subsituted by Ś or SZ.
