The date should be the date the event occurred. Then it will show you a timeline of events so you can see any trends or missing information or even contradictions.
Your images can and should be linked to every person and field they apply to. Although everyone has their choice of methodology. Don't worry about attaching it too many places because the program stores the LINK to your images stored on your computer not the actual image itself. That would make the file too large and would bog down the program. Be sure to use the copy/paste event-source features! You can attach your media to the source, then copy it to the clipboard and paste it everywhere that it is needed So many nice time saving features. You are smart to learn about it at the beginning - watch the videos. They are very helpful. Happy hunting!
