Ancestry.com uses their indices to locate the name you enter for your search.
The 1870 census for Greene County, Indiana, IS available at
Ancestry.com; however, when
the person you are searching for is listed differently on their index than you enter for
your search, you will not find them.
If you search by the name, BROOK that I gave you, you will be able to locate the 1870
census image scan at
ancestry.com that contains the family you are searching for, as well
as their neighbors, etc.
As an alternative, you can search for the twp, Greene County, Indiana, without entering
any name, and then go to the image # that I gave you.
Because of the errors that exist in the Indices used for searches at
Ancestry.com, one
should always do alternative name searches.
