In my Bible study, I am using a chronologically ordered study by Skip Andrews, and following the life of Noah is this genealogy of Noah's sons found in 1 Chronicles:
(1 Chronicles 1:5) The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. (6) And the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. (7) And the sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (8) The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. (9) And the sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. (10) And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be mighty on the earth. (11) And Mizraim begat Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, (12) Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and the Caphtorim). (13) And Canaan begat Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth; (14) The Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite; (15) And the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; (16) And the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. (17) The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram, Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. (18) And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber. (19) And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, because in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. (20) And Joktan begat Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, (21) Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, (22) Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, (23) Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
Now we return to Shem and the direct line from him to Abraham:
(24) Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, (25) Eber, Peleg, Reu, (26) Serug, Nahor, Terah, (27) and Abram, who is Abraham. (28) The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael. (29) These are their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael was Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, (30) Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, (31) Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael. (32) Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan. (33) And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. (34) And Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac were Esau and Israel.
Now we return to Genesis 10:
(Genesis 10:1) Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood. (2) The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. (3) And the sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. (4) And the sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. (5) By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided into their lands; everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.
The isles of the Gentiles were not really islands, but those lands that were accessible to the Hebrews from the sea; they had to go by sea to reach these lands. They are generally thought of to be the countries of Europe and Asia Minor.
(6) The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. (7) And the sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. (8) And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the earth. (9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD". (10) And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. (11) Out of that land he went forth to Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, (12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is a great city). (13) And Mizraim begat Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, (14) And Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim). (15) And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, (16) And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, (17) And the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite; (18) And the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. (19) And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. (20) These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations. (21) And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. (22) The children of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. (23) And the children of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. (24) And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. (25) And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. (26) And Joktan begat Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, (27) And Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, (28) And Obal, Abimael, Sheba, (29) Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. (30) And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, a mountain of the east. (31) These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands, according to their nations. (32) These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
