I believe it would be similar to mom and dad. If you said, my Mom went to the shopping center, you are using the word mom as her name, but if you're referring to who she is... as being a mother, I don't believe you would capitalize it and I think that follows to brother and sisters.
Only when you're using it as a replacement for a name. Like my Mom or my Dad went to. And I don't know if that would follow for what you're using brothers and sisters for.
Just a guess, but I think that is how that works.
Dear Esteemed Colleagues
Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of your phrases of salutation and conclusion. i.e. My dear Josephine, Very truly yours,
Yes, querido/a is a salutation that varies, depending on the sex of the person being addressed.

Yes, in formal writing, "Dear Brothers and Sisters" should be capitalized because it is a salutation. However, in casual writing, it is acceptable to write "dear brothers and sisters" in lowercase.
Dear Esteemed Colleagues
Capitalize family titles when they are used as names. For example, "Where are you going, Dad?" Do nott capitalize family titles when they come after a possessive noun or pronoun or an article. For example, My sister teaches at the university.
Yes, the word "Everyone" should be capitalized in "Dear Everyone" as it is a formal salutation.
You would normally capitalize nouns in the salutation, Dear Residents: (but this is not a significant aspect of the letter and is often ignored). If you use a longer salutation, such as "My dear Neighbors," the word dear would not be capitalized.
Yes, "Dear Friends and Family" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun and the beginning of a salutation.
Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of your phrases of salutation and conclusion. i.e. My dear Josephine, Very truly yours,
The correct way to write a salutation to a doctor is to use "Dear Dr. [Last Name]," if you know their name. If you don’t know their name, you can use "Dear Doctor" or "Dear [Specialty] Doctor" (e.g., "Dear Cardiologist"). Always capitalize "Dr." and "Doctor" when used as a title.
Dear Mr. President is a salutation of a business letter. The salutation goes at the beginning, thus that's how you got Dear.
dear your honor
Yes.
Yes, dear is usually at the start of a sentence and beginning of the letter. If it is not, then it needs no capitalization.-------------------It is OK, but do not use "Dear Employer." Find the name of the person to whom you are sending the letter. It's polite and more friendly.
