Lorrayne Vick DonnellThank you, thank you for the time, effort and expertise you have exerted to put out this book. It is a wonderful gift to have and to hold, and I shall treasure it, use it, enjoy it, and pass it on to my daughter and granddaughter. This is my legacy to them--our family history as you have compiled it--correct and professional in every way. Kay LewisI am one of the Vick cousins that recently purchased the long-awaited book and I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. I was astounded when I opened my package and found the beautiful volume. You did a fabulous job of making the book "pretty!" I have only had a chance to thumb through and look at the pictures--maybe read a couple of pages here and there--and I think Di Ann and John have done a fantastic job. All the Vick descendants must be impressed and very grateful that they were willing to put all that time and effort into producing such a fabulous book. Many, many, many thanks to all of you. Vickie Campos I am overwhelmed. This is such a beautiful book!! I couldn't believe that you all had been able to secure something of this quality for the price at which it was offered. It is obvious that meticulous care was taken to select a fitting presentation for what is found inside. As I browsed through, I began to realize the many hours that were devoted to the production of such a book. I am in awe that anybody would have the dedication & tenacity to finish a work such as this. I hold it and feel the family connection. This is truly something you both can be proud of. The entire family owes you a great debt of gratitude. Jean Smokey Baker Words just fail me to tell you how PLEASED I am with the first Volume of the JVFOA. It is soooooo beautifully done...the documentation on the pages is just something very special. I only have a small window to peek into as to all the work that you have accomplished to make this such a special book. Kathryn B. HowellJOSEPH VICK OF LOWER PARISH, ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND HIS DESCENDANTS is a treasure. The Book is not only attractive but the contents are instructive as well. John D. Beatty and Di Ann Vick are to be congratulated on their expertise in producing Volume I. Joy McGee HeitmannOur North Carolina State Library received a copy of Joseph Vick of Lower Parrish Isle of Wight County, Virginia, and it is beautiful. I searched for the publishing company and found the book was just for your family. The book is available for readers and researchers and I will share the website information. Thank you for sharing a copy with us. Joy McGee Heitmann Library Technical Assistant Genealogical Services State Library of North Carolina Sue Pynes Woodford-Beals I received the 4 copies of the Vick book yesterday. The book is beautiful, binding is classic, and will truly be a family treasure. I'm looking forward to reading it this weekend. My Samuel W.W. Vick (p270-273) is very well done. Kudos to Di Ann and John. Thanks for your quick turn around on the order. Charles Jack LandersReceived the book "JOSEPH VICK Of Lower Parish, Isle of Wight County, Virginia - And His Descendants, VOLUME I" on April 30, 2004. Have only been able to read to Page 50 - "12. JOSIAH VICK..." so far, but am very impressed! You folks have done a superb job! First class printing, paper, binding, leather covers, and, last but not least, CONTENT! You are all to be congratulated! We other Vick descendants salute you! Ed Barnes I have had a chance to make a cursory scan of Vol. 1 of the Joseph Vick Family book and to read more closely the Elisha Vick (#150) line from which my wife descends. I can only imagine the hours that you and others before you have spent in compiling and interpreting the information that is contained in this book. The documentation is great. I am glad that when you have included an interpretation of circumstantial evidence of an unproven fact that you have so indicated. Anyone that has done any research knows that at times a smoking gun cannot be found and that an interpretation of ancillary facts is sometimes necessary. I am impressed with quality of the printing, paper and binding and will consider the book as a family treasure. Thanks to you and to everyone else who has had a hand in its publication. We are looking forward to Volume 2. Charles Riley Parnell I appreciate the effort that each of you made to research and compile all the Vick Family information. The book is very impressive and will be enjoyed by Joseph Vick descendants for years to come. Obviously, this was a major project and took many hours to complete. Thanks again for making this available to all of us. Lorrayne Vick Donnell Thank you, thank you for the time, effort and expertise you have exerted to put out this book.

They are very good quality (in looks) but more important I really think the GENERATION Background stories are so interesting and help to understand our family. The family lines from Joseph VICK down to Mastin Crawford VICK are just the way I wanted to see them and I just wish the generations didn't stop there.
