There is an elaborated list of names having had received such a Tablet with the date identified plus an index (in German). The dates provide an evidence when someone heard about the Faith first time, and in most cases as well, when s/he considered her-/himself to be a Bahá'í as such thing as enrollment did not exist at that time. There is also a graphic showing the numbers of Tablets per month over the years. (see down below). Studying the letters provides the reader with a very interesting narrative of the German Bahá'í Faith history.
