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

I THINK the way round this is add an imaginary person to your tree with the surname you are seraching for. 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

It does work - I think it is the only way. It is also advised as the way to do it! 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
