Genetic genealogy is the use of genealogical DNA tests, i.e., DNA profiling and DNA testing, in combination with traditional genealogical methods, to infer genetic relationships between individuals.

Jamie has been doing genealogical research since 1969 and genetic genealogy since 2016. Today she supports members of the Poindexter Descendants Association with their family history research. She is chair of the PDA's Family History Research Committee.

She also is the group administrator of the Poindexter DNA Group at FamilyTreeDNA.com. In addition, she co-adminsters the Puls (and Boltz) DNA Project and the Stutenberg DNA Project.

During the pandemic, most of her research has been done online using Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, Newspapers.com, and many other online resources. DNA testing has also been useful to confirm clients' membership in a family tree. Jamie asists clients in understanding their matches reported by their DNA results.
