  1. Hello, I'd like to contact the family of Rose Lerner Perlman. She attended U of Penn law school with my great aunt, Pinckney Estes, and was in Pinckney's 1920 wedding. The two stayed in touch over the years and would be interested to see if Rose's family has any correspondence between Rose and Pinckney, or an other information abot Pinckney, such as pictures, etc. Is there someone I can contact?
