Notes
This item is a genealogical 'Table of the Ruling Āl Khalīfah (’Atbi) Family of Bahrain (Sheet No. 2., Junior Part of the Āl Salmān Branch)'. It contains 68 named individuals (in Arabic and English) of the Āl Khalīfah (al-‘Utūb) family of Bahrain, junior branch descended from Salmān, a branch that produced wazīrs but no ruling Shaikhs of Bahrain. A diagram appears on 'Sheet No. 1' (f. 11) explaining the connection with the senior part of the Āl Salmān branch. Some of the named individuals appear with birth and death dates, as well as brief biographical information.
A section of 'Notes' is given that gives the year of compilation as 1907, as well as other details concerning the arrangement of the table, including: its completeness; the omission of all females; 'issue' means 'male issue'; the ordering of sons from the same father according to seniority from left to right; dates of birth, and in some cases death, are approximate only; when the fact or date of death is not mentioned the person was probably alive in 1906; persons shown in the table reside in Bahrain, unless otherwise stated.
