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.
