: My grandfather, Herman Badenhoop founded the
: Southern Maryland German-American Bank (the
: Bank of Brandywine). I know it later merged
: with another bank and eventually the
: Brandywine bank closed. I have a photo of
: the original building (my mother and her
: father on the porch). We've tried to locate
: that building but couldn't find it. Does
: anyone know when it started and what
: happened to it?
:
: I would love to see a copy of the bank charter and share my info! Time is tough...but I would like to at least share what we have and see what happens!
