I add anything that happened to the family (as a whole, or part of e.g. mum and son, dad and three out of four children, mum and dad, the three siblings) - some examples are group photos, a family holiday, a census event. If, for arguments sake, I had a photo of a child's graduation and mum and dad are in the photo with the child I would add this as an event for the child, not the family - however, if it was a group photo take at a picnic I would include it as a marriage (read 'family') event because it isn't specific to any one person. If I find a census entry for one of the children on his / her own, they would get an individual event - but if the rest of the family was together at a different location that entry would still be a family / marriage event. I have also changed the wording for reports to something like "The following involved [couplenames] and / or their children."

I'm a long time Legacy user but have never, ever added an Event in the Marriage Information section. I would like to know some examples of what could/should be added there? Maybe I'm adding some of my information to the individual when it actually should be an Event in the Marriage section. I don't know. I think I'm asking this because I started seeing discussions about some people adding the Census Event under the Marriage section (although I still need to wrap my head around that idea and why I should do it.)
