I posted this once before but thought it handy to add again.
If you have a name that might be connected to your tree but is currently unconfirmed add the details to FTM as an unrelated individual.
You can save any details along with the name (bmd, census refs etc) in whatever method you prefer, this avoids losing the info and having to search all over again.
To add an unrelated individual;
From the People menu, select Add Unrelated Individual.
FTM then displays a blank family page. Enter known details about the individual's name and birth and death details as usual. Any notes, references or census information can be entered in the usual way from the family page.
Note: Because this individual is not currently related to anyone in your file, you need to use the Index of Individuals to navigate to any other Family Page
As and when you prove the connection use the Attach Spouse or Attach Child commands to attach the individual to your tree in the correct place.
