In addition, one finds in his own handwriting the genealogy
of the Báb, showing connection with Bahá'u'lláh's descendants, and presented on
a fivefold sheet of paper twenty-six inches long. [1] The genealogy is prepared
with scrupulous care, and shows the ramifications of the families, including
names known to every Bahá'í as well as names unknown to the average believer,
but which Shoghi Effendi brought to mind with great facility. [2]

Effendi – Recollections’)
[1] The genealogy appears only in the American edition.
[2] The genealogy of the Bab is also to be found in The
Bahá'í World, vol. IV, facing p.234, and in vol. V, facing p. 203. An even
greater labour, the genealogy of Bahá'u'lláh, also in Shoghi Effendi's
handwriting, is included in The Bahá'í World, vol. V, facing p. 205. It is
printed on a sheet of paper forty-six inches long, folded eight times.
