Adding a sibling

I have an ancestor, but have not found their parents. I have found a sibling. How would I add the sibling, since there are no parents?

The Family Tree does not have a feature that lets you add a sibling without adding a parent. You could make a place marker record for the father by taking the children's last name and add a father (for example, Mr. Smith) and then add the sibling under the father. Another idea is to simply list the sibling in the Life sketch with his/her name and ID number.
