FWIW, the NPS's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System database lists sixteen Fleaks,
all Union, including three who served in Iowa units:
Corp. John R. Fleak, 29th IA INF
Pvt. Robert F. Fleak, 47th IA INF
Corp. Valencort V. Fleak, 17th IA INF
In addition, the Civil War Research Database lists a Pvt. Henry K. Fleak, of Brighton,
whio served in the 2nd IA INF.

Try doing a search for a John -- any given name will do -- Fleak on
www.familysearch.org and see how many variant spellings appear. Variants
are picked up automatically unless you specify exact spelling. I've found
that a soundex search on Ancestry results in so many hits, a lot of them
implausible, that it's a waste of time.
familysearch.org will also let you
search by surname alone but then you can't specify the country.

I'll look at it again. Thanks.

Mary,
His name doesn't appear in the roster for the 7th Iowa, per the "Roster and
Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion" (which can be found
on-line at
http://iagenweb.org/civilwar/books/logan.htm). Perhaps there is an
alternate spelling?

Any information would be appreciated.
