For those readers that wondered about it, I won't be doing a Genealogy Blog Compendium for RootsTech 2022.  I  added a section to this daily wrapup post for notable genealogy blogs about RootsTech.  Why?  Many blogs have been abandoned in favor of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc., plus I have other tasks to do.
