Question:
How often would the average Old Testament family have offered a burnt offering or similar sacrifice? Can you point me to a reference that would describe these activities?

Answer:
In answer to your question there really was not an average amount of times that a person would visit the Temple to bring offerings. The order of sacrifices both public and private, are described in the "Five books of Moses", in the book of Leviticus.

One was required to be ritually pure to enter the Temple so this would also limit the frequency of visits.

I hope this gives you a general picture.
