Greetings from the Chattanooga, Ohio, area. Yes, Ohio has its very own Chattanooga, aka Chatt, a small village in west-central Ohio, near the Indiana border. I have been doing family history research for over 20 years and am a Board-Certified genealogist, certified by the Board for Certification of Genealogists®. My main genealogical interests are family research, cemetery research, and historical and genealogical research of the Chatt area, with a focus on two area Lutheran Churches, both named Zion Lutheran, one in Chatt and the other in Schumm, Ohio. Family names I am researching include Miller, Schumm, Brewster, Rueck, Reid, Headington, Huey, Bryan, Whiteman, Schinnerer, Scaer, Breuninger, Bennett, and a few others. I belong to several lineage societies, including the Daughters of the American Revolution, U.S. Daughters of 1812, First Families of Ohio, and First Families of Mercer and Van Wert Counties. I am also a retired dental hygienist and our church organist. I hope you enjoy Karen's Chatt.

How many businesses are there in Chatt today? Or in 2014? Will there be more or less in the coming year? Are any of the current businesses in Chatt sponsoring ads for New Years wishes? In fact, what are the ads in the Willshire Herald (Photostar) this season? Do any mention any Chatt businesses? As newspapers crash around the country, what is the future of the Photostar?
Then again, there were no blogs in 1934 to herald the merits and wonders of Chatt! Can there be a new and different way to be healthy, vibrant and strong? Can technology be a savior through new forms of communication as well as the destruction of the old? Is it replacing or annihilating the future of small town America?
