In the context of the original post there is no one special to create a To Do for. He wanted to know how to record sources where nothing was found about anyone in his file. I agree that if you were searching a source for a particular person and found nothing a To Do for that person would be the appropriate method. In this case however there is no one in particular in the file to which a To Do could be attached.
