In 2022, a campaign raised $40,000 to print The Vick Genealogy: The Study of a Southern American Family in White and Black, a two-volume set by John Beatty, CG®. The book totals over 1,000 pages and includes many historical pictures and documents. The limited first edition of 300 copies has a hard-covered saddled-stitched binding with dust covers, and the cover features quotes from Ted Shaw and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The book was published with the highest heirloom quality available by Walsworth Printing of Missouri. It is sure to be a valuable resource for many generations of Vicks to come. All profits from the sale of the books go to the Joseph Vick Family of America.

John Beatty is a genealogist on the staff of the Allen County Public Library, the largest collection of genealogical secondary sources in the United States.
