@Ulrich Neitzel Thank you for your help. I tend to use Fr. (Father) when I translate my Catholic documents vs. Pastor for my Lutheran documents. Should I always be using Pastor?

OK. I didn't interpret Fr. as Father. I am not sure what the most appropriate translation is in English; in German both Lutheran and Catholic clergymen are called "Geistlicher" or "Pfarrer".

@Ulrich Neitzel Thank you. Maybe it's an American thing. I was raised Catholic and we always referred to our clergy as Father (Fr.) Forthuber or Priest. Whereas other religions referred to their clergy as Pastor Forthuber.

Hello @ccr1107,
I like your distinction of using "Father" for a Catholic priest and "Pastor" for a Protestant minister. I think this distinction is well understood in the United States. Thus, if you are creating your family history for primarily American readers, this works well and would not be confusing.
