Dear Richard, You are absolutely correct, the original saying is "home is where the hearth is". Infact, hearth was generally olde English for home. However, since hearths have become few and far between, hearth has been replaced by heart in the saying. The hearth at one time was considered the heart of the English home. Hence the interchangeable use of the word hearth and heart.
