Can I create a new tree from records available on FamilySearch, e.g. census records?

I am researching soldiers who served in the same unit as my grandfather in WW1. Most are already on trees in FamilySearch and I have been adding information about their military service, and other information about them and their families to their trees. I am particularly interested in their pre-WW1 backgrounds and what they did after the war.

However, a small number are not on FamilySearch. I would like to created trees for them, which should be quite easy because most appear in the 1901 and 1911 censuses but I have not yet worked out how to do this.

    It won't be a separate tree, since the FamilySearch Family Tree is a single, collaborative, tree for all.

    To add a person to the FSFT when you don't have a connection (not a relative or a known relative of a profile already in the tree), go to your list of Recents and use Add Unconnected Person:

    Thanks for that! I was pretty sure that there had to be a way but I couldn't find it.

    Allready used it to add one of my grandfather's comrades.
