Jethro has a built-in 'Contact Remarks' field, which shows when adding a Person:

However this field does not appear when adding a Family:

Is this perhaps an oversight? If there's any time I'm likely to add remarks, it's going to be when adding a new family/person.

Hmm, it wasn't an oversight but a strategy for managing complexity.
"Contact remarks" is intended for notes such as "Can't take calls during business hours" or "Rarely reads emails". That's why it's shown next to all the contact details.
But it's easily confused with person notes which are for such things as "I met Jeff yesterday and he's interested in joining our church".
When adding someone new you're likely to have the former but not the latter. And so to avoid confusion between the two, and to avoid field overload, Contact Remarks is left out of the create family form.
