How do I create a new person based on a record I found on Family Search?

A US census record shows my ancestors had a lodger to whom they/I are unrelated. I'm trying to attach the census record to each of this lodger as a courtesy for people who might be looking for this individual. I've done a search to see if a profile already exists but have not found one. I did find two other records/sources that match this individual based on name, DOB & birthplace. Neither of these records are currently attached to a profile. How do I create a new person/profile using these 3 records?

    Hi Rebecca - You can create an unrelated/unconnected person by going to recents, scolling to the bottom and follow the prompt for creating an unconnected person. You can then attach the sources. You get to recents by selecting it from the drop down under Family Tree at the upper left. Here is a link to the more detailed instructions.
