In Judaism: what exactly is the book "The Order of the Generations" (Seder Hadorot; סדר הדורות)? Is this name refers to a specific book, or to a genre of books? In case it refers to a specific book - who wrote it and when?
In 1769, Rabbi Heilprin (1660-1746) published Seder HaDorot, which contains a chronology of events and personalities from creation until 1696. He was the first of the rabbi-genealogists to record rabbinical family origins
Here is a link to see the book and sample pages:

Thanks. This book is supposed to document the descendents of King David practically until today. Kinda like the Holy Grail in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, ain't it?
Well , actually it stops in 1696...
Someone could update it for the new people born later ...
