ok here is my list to make things clear (all theese numbers are from the own chapters main page):

Salamander : 0 confirmed 2 suspected/allegedly. Only reason here in the wiki states that they were so few after istavan that they could not create during first found fair enough, but still only 2 suspected/allegedly way more rare then the raven guards. (making any true successors of Salamanders the rarest since there is no confirmed)

Space Wolves: 1 confirmed 0 suspected/allegedly. Got 13 great companies of 1000+- at founding, now unkown how many it is in each company, and great comapny nr 13 is a mysterium, but they are all under the space wolves chapter cause of they cant leave fenris (wulfen problem).

Iorn Hands: 6 confirmed 0 suspected/allegedly. Losses during istavan and their problems. Read on iron hands page under chapter gene-seed, since i dont know how to make it simple.

Dark Angels: 6 confirmed 1 suspected/allegedly. Curiously, although Dark Angels gene-seed is every bit as pure and fully functional as that of the Ultramarines Chapter, the seed of the Lion has rarely been used to Found new Space Marine Chapters since the Horus Heresy by the Adeptus Mechanicus. (from Dark Angels page under successor chapters)

White Scars : 7 confirmed 1 strange chapter "Dark Hunters" is listed on the White Scars chapter page, but on their own page its not listed what lineage they are from (listed as unkown).

Raven Guard: 7 confirmed 5 suspected/allegedly. Losses at istavan. Much of the gene-stocks of the Raven Guard were lost or irreparably damaged and as such a significant portion of the Chapter’s genetic material now comes from Terra.

Blood Angels: 13 confirmed 0 suspected/allegedly. lots of flaws wich can destroy a chapter.

Imperial Fists: 13 confirmed 1 suspected/allegedly and then its the strange sould drinkers wich is unkown now(they are still listed on Imperial Fists as a successor chapter. Own page listed as unkown, but they are wiped out).

Ultramarines: 24 confirmed 1 suspected/allegedly and the strange Brootherhood of a thousand sons wich is unkown, but they belive they are from the Ultramarines lineage.
