Multiple people on the record, but only one indexed. Help!
This record is created for 1 person, Mary, but it is actually a record for 3 siblings who died: Mary, Elmer, and Florence Wyman. I need to attach it to all 3, but can only attach it to Mary. Help!

There are basically two ways to get around FamilySearch's index-centric structure: using your Source Box, or using the URL (link/address).
To use your Source Box, you can either click "Save" and then "Save to Source Box" on the index entry (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKXM-HG1G), or you can go to the image (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89F3-J1T?i=118), click the gray Source Box button, and choose Add to My Source Box. Once you've created the citation this way, you can either click your profile icon at the top right and choose Source Box, then attach the citation to the other profiles from there, or you can go to each of the other profiles' Sources tabs, click Add Source, and then choose Attach from Source Box.
To attach the source using its URL, go to one of the profiles you want to add it to, open the Sources tab, click Add Source, and choose Add New Source. Copy and paste the URL into the appropriate field, fill out the title (required) and any of the other fields (optional), and click Save. For the other person, you can either repeat this process, or you can make sure the "Add Source to My Source Box" checkbox is checked before you click Save, and then follow the instructions above about adding a citation from your Source Box.
Note that using the "Add to..." or "Save to..." buttons creates a "native" citation, labeled with the FS tree icon, whereas using the URL creates an "outside" citation, labeled with a globe icon.
