Jack - As far as I know, you can check out for enlistments for ANY person who fought though tht standard 1090 form - call your local branch of the National Archives to have one sent to you. Check the box for Pension Records in the upper left hand corner. These record applications should apply for all soldiers - native or foreign born - even if newly arrived in the U.S. (As was the case for my gg grandfather who was from Enlgand, but enlisted in Boston, MA). Just write whatever you know about him - ex: he was from Newfoundland.
