	I don't think you can Steven. I wanted to do this too but could not find a way to do it until it was added to my tree. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong! Good Luck, Alison

Then enter your trying to find message, you can delete the imaginary person at later date. I am not 100% sure this will work but think it's what someone suggested before. Shelli

I contacted Support to see if it could be easier to make entries on the trying to find board - and Estelle suggested making a fictitious entry and eleting it later. Rosi
