Rachel, do you happen to speak any other languages? Would you check out our languages template and add it to your biography? For example you might add
{{ Languages | en | fr-2 | ga-1 }}
to the top of your biography if you speak English natively, intermediate French and basic Irish, or you could use de-4 to specify near-native German or ru-1 for basic Russian, and so forth up to ten languages.
It really helps to know who speaks all the different languages used on WikiTree! If you only speak English, you're very welcome to use this text to make that clear:

Hi again Rachel, I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. . Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful.
I started hunting for cousins for a friend and caught the genealogy bug. Six years later, and I'm still hunting down my own cousins! I love helping out others to tie up bits and pieces of their trees.

The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'
A couple suggestions to get you started:
Our Honor Code is a very important part of why our community is such a friendly place to grow your family tree, so please take some time to read it.
Feel free to ask a question at our G2G forum , and our help pages, top right, have all sorts of useful information.
If you would like to contribute, click the volunteer button and leave a comment, here on your profile, about how you plan to contribute to the tree.
Hope you'll join us ~ Happy researching! Patt
