Notes
This item is a genealogical 'Table of the Principal Descendants of Ahmad-Bin-Sa’īd, Āl Bū Sa’īdi, Founder of the Present Ruling Families of ’Oman & Zanzibar'. It contains 139 named and unnamed individuals (in Arabic and English) of the Āl Bū Sa‘īd family of Oman and Zanzibar. Some of these individuals appear with birth and death dates, as well as brief biographical information.
There is also a 'Chronological list of the rulers of ’Omān belonging to this family' and a 'Chronological list of rulers of Zanzibar belonging to this family'.
In addition, a section of 'Notes' is included that gives 1907 as the year of compilation, as well as other details concerning the arrangement of the table, including: the omission of distant collateral relatives and nearly all female names; the ordering of children from the same father according to seniority from left to right, with females invariably placed at the far right; dates of birth and death are approximate only; and when the fact or date of death is not mentioned the person was probably alive in 1906.
