Attach record to other people

I was viewing a census record for one person and saw another name I wanted to attach the record to. But there wasn't any button or link that I saw to attach a 2nd person. Is the only way to do that is go to the other person in the tree first and add a source record?

With census records having so many entries on each sheet, it seems like it should be allowed to link to multiple people (assumin they have a profile in the tree).

    It is absolutely possible and encouraged to attach a record to other profiles.
    Each indexed person on that census page will have a different URL to attach to the profile.


    You'll see "unfinished attachments" in the Sources list.

    Thanks. I think the key is "indexed." I have been linking other people that appear in a list at the bottom, but these are old records that don't show that. They have to have some kind of index though to be found via search. But I'll just use the workaround.
