Do you know of New Genesee ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about New Genesee. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with New Genesee.<1>

Our sources for New Genesee (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of New Genesee other than they indicate that New Genesee would be found somewhere in Whiteside County, Illinois.
