I have been recently wondering where they might be. Considering that both Prophets were here on Earth not too long ago, I found it unusual that their contemporary family is not really discussed or acknowledged.

Are much of them still in Iran? Are most of them Bahai's? I say this because Muslims still keep track of Muhammad's descendants, and it's only been about a century since Baha'u'llah's passing and I have never heard anyone say anything about his living bloodline. I'd imagine most Bahai's would like to meet someone so closely related to either Baha'u'llah or The Bab.

I don't believe the Bab had any children who survived (he had one son who died at 2, I believe). Baha'u'llah's descendants, outside of a select (and very important) few, were estranged from the Faith, to put it simply. Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian of the Faith, was the last living, faithful member of His family. It's a pretty sad story, actually.

There are quite a few descendents..of Baha'u'llagh.

See:

Bahá'u'lláh's family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and

List of Descendants of Mirza Buzurg of Nur, the Father of Baha'u'llah

The descendants from the family of the Bab are called Afnan.. They re also numerous..
