Russ - What I do is enter the family and use a "?" in the "Title prefix" box, explaining it in Research Notes. I do it this way to keep the family together without having to remember that I have their info somewhere else. It also "flags" the fact that there is a broken or unconfirmed link. Enhancement suggestions have been made on this point before.
Since I work mostly from the Family tab it is readily apparent.
