Tom, I see that you just did the Pre-1700 Self-Certification. That's great! Is there a particular time period, location, or topic you're interested in? Maybe you have some historically-significant ancestors? Participation in a project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. You appear to have several interests. Why don't you stop by the Project List (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Projects to see how you can participate? Let me know if you need help with anything. We are glad to have you on board!
Thanks for joining us Tom! How are things going for you now that you've had a chance to look around and add some of your family tree? Have you seen our Czech Roots project yet?
When you have a moment, you should come on over and introduce yourself in our forum thread for new members. It's a great way to meet other genealogists and share what you are working on.
P.S. WikiTree has a project for DNA that you might find of interest. To check it out, go to the FIND link top right of your profile page, select PROJECTS from the drop-down menu, and then click the link to the DNA project. In addition to information that may be of interest to you, the project page has a list of members you can contact if you would like additional details. Cheers, Liz

My name is Tom Hampel and have been interested in my family's history for the past 40 years. I was lucky enough to get started when my grandparents were still alive and could gather quite a bit of oral history. I have 5th and 6th cousins in Germany and the Czech Republic I still communicate with but have taken advantage of Ancestry.com, the LDS library, and the Czech Republic Archives to fill in dates, places, and more generations. In 1996 our family j toured Europe, visiting distant relatives of three different family lines.
Though not related to anyone famous, the search has been very interesting.
Thomas, Welcome to Wikitree. My mother was born Hampel. I hope you enjoy your time here. There is so much happening in the community. Shirley Davis ~~~~
