Jenny Rizzo IrwinCertified Genealogist®
Accredited Genealogist®
|
After 25 years as a genealogy hobbyist, in 2020 I established Generations Revealed, LLC and began my dream job as a professional genealogist. Courses at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy, the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh, the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research, and Boston University's Genealogical Research Certificate program helped me learn the importance of focused genealogical research, analysis, and writing. In March 2023 I earned the credential of Certified Genealogist® from the Board for Certification of Genealogists. In November 2025 I earned the credential of Accredited Genealogist® from the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists.
I specialize in United States research with a geographic focus on New York State, New York City, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut. I'm also an experienced forensic genealogist and conduct kinship research for attorneys in probate and real estate cases. I enjoy the balance of traditional genealogy work and forensic genealogy work.
I serve as Editorial Assistant for the National Genealogical Society National Genealogical Society Quarterly and an Assistant Editor for the Board for Certification of Genealogists OnBoard. My writing has been published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly, OnBoard, the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's New York Researcher, and the Utah Genealogical Society's Crossroads.
I'm active within the genealogical community, serving as President of the New England chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG), as a Trustee for the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG), and as a Trustee for the Certification of Genealogists (BCG) Education Fund.
