there is also an Abu Bakr Efendi who was sent to South Africa by the Ottamans way back under british rule. he was sent to assist the british in religious matters because of trouble between the shafis & hanafis. he was however a shafi but could only give hanafi verdict because the qadha system of the ottamans was based on the hanafi madhab.

this family is similar to ba Alawi family who also have thousands of ulama in this present day. you always find a few of them in the top ranking ulama of the world especialy in the shafi madhab. they took islam to 1/3 of the total muslim population & like you said a chain of scholarship from father to son since the nubuwa of Rasulullah SAWS as they are also ahlul bayt.
