My mother was born in the USA. Her father did what so many Maritimers did in the early part of the last century - move to New England and work in the mills.
Her mother (my grandmother) unfortunately died in the great flu pandemic of 1918, and she was subsequently sent home to live with her own grandparents in rural PEI. As such, the fact that I'm 1/2 American is mainly an accident as far as I'm concerned. Aside from this, I'm seventh generation Prince Edward Islander on virtually all sides, with most of my ancestors immigrating to PEI in the 1810s.
