Spelling

Why is it that it is spelled Gonzales v. Williams if her name is really spelled "González"

• That is a good question. When Hispanics and people from non-Anglo countries immigrated to the United States in the 19th Century, the immigration officials would post their names as they believed sounded in English. In other words many Gonzalez's became Gonzales' and Gomez's became Gomes and so on. That is why you have a so-called typo in Isabel's surname. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Court of first instance

Even back then, wouldn't the case have originated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, then been appealed to the then-applicable United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and then onto SCOTUS? I'm not hugely familiar with the former, historical stylings of every district and circuit, but I somehow doubt that Southern New York ever constituted an entire circuit; I would suggest that it is more likely that even back then it was a district, but I am refraining from editing, wishing to defer to someone who has reliable sources on this. 2600:1004:B128:7CAD:49D2:8547:639A:DE41 (talk) 22:35, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
