Alan:

There's a useful book:

Perschbacher, Wesley J. New Testament Greek Syntax: An Illustrated Manual.
Chicago: Moody, 1995.

[ According to Amazon.com, this title is out of print --- something i find
hard to believe is anything but temporary for a useful tool like this,
published only four years ago 
However, I see there are a number of second hand copies currently available
on MX BookFinder at:
http://www.bookfinder.com/search/   ]

and I thought you might like to look up the examples he cites for the
genitivie absolute:

Gen. masc. sg      1 Jn  5:13
         fem.               Gal.  3:25
         masc. pl.        Ac.  6:1
         fem.    pl	 Ac. 25:13

Genitive pronoun as subject of genetive absolute construction     2 Co. 1:11

In another section, dealing with the fact that " adverbial or
circumstantial participles are always anarthrous [ i.e without the definite
article ]
he gives:

Gen. pl. masc pres. pass. ptc.      Mt. 28:13  "..... _stole_  him _ while
we were sleeping_
Gen. sg. fem. aor. mid. dep. ptc.  Mt. 14:2     " ...  and  _when evening
came he was there_  alone
