Never had any problems with the US. Funny note:
my family was originally from Virginia, moved to
Toronto after the Revolutionary War as UEL's - the
Family Compact.
The weird thing about having family from old Virginia
is that it wasn't a very big place between 1620 and
1780 - during that century and a half, pretty well all
the local families intermarried to an alarming degree
and everyone ended up being related. One of my FFV:

[quote]The Burwells were among the First Families of Virginia in the Colony of Virginia.
John Quincy Adams once described the Burwells as typical Virginia aristocrats of their period:
forthright, bland, somewhat imperious and politically simplistic by Adams' standards.
In 1713, so many Burwells had intermarried with the Virginia political elite that
Governor Spotswood complained that " the greater part of the present Council
are related to the Family of Burwells[/quote]
The result of this is that a cousin of mine, Ben
Harrison, signed the Declaration of Independence.
He had some interesting offspring.
All that to say that I have lots of family in the US
and I feel quite comfortable here. Americans seem
to be ok with a Canadian whom has two US Presidents
as cousins.
PS Ever hear of a Lewis Burwell Puller? USMC three star?
