When I run across individuals or families who appear to be connected to my
family, I enter them into Legacy as "Unlinked Individuals." I then add BDM
and event information as I find it, just as I would for a linked person.
Then, if I find that they are related to the main line, I have all the data
available and I can just link them in. I presently have 21 "island" trees
containing from 1 to 46 people.
The idea of entering them into a ToDo list to keep track of them is good; I
may have to try that, as I am chronically disorganized.

I, too, track individuals through census pages, and would appreciate
knowing how others keep track of "other people", who at one time may not
be recognized as related, but after further work, end up being so.

But it occurs to me that one could also create a To Do, putting something
like "Other
People" in "Task needing to be done" and just add the names to the Task
Description as one comes across them. If one inserted each name in
alphabetical order, it would not be too difficult to check this list
whenever a new connection was found.
