I am reviewing this batch. On the right hand side of the page,
![Lisa Kay Horlacher](https://us.v-cdn.net/6032564/uploads/defaultavatar/nV1A3AXEPLQA3.jpg)
in the GRANTOR column, about 21 names down, the grantee is Timothy. The indexer put "Pastory of Saint John Baptist R C Church" in the organization field. Is this correct? I thought it said "Pastor of Saint John Baptist Church and wasn't sure which field to put it in since that isn't a name. What are your thoughts?

And when did this page for asking questions change?

opinion on the line: Pastory Saint John Baptist R C Church (the R C seems separated but appears to be there)?
it could say 'of' too but compare with the f in Theofil below doesn't seem right?
The Community page probably changed in the last day. There was a request to separate foreign language queries that they are probably implementing rules for, etc.

A “rectory” is housing for a rector or priest or minister. I’ve never seen the term in question, but I suppose that “Pastory” might refer to the building where the Pastor lived - maybe the clerk’s “homemade” term - perhaps that’s that reason for the space/ “pause.” It doesn’t quite look like the clear “y” exemplars I see, but, like @genthusiast , I’m not comfortable with “of.” Pastory makes some sense, so I’d lean that way. The Researchers gets to draw their own conclusions.
