Aside from Blood Ravens of course.
According to 1d4chan.
Blood Ravens (Thousand Sons) - heavily implied but suppposedly officially denied
Brotherhood of a Thousand - minor chapter with a tiny footnote implying heavy librarius.<ref>How to Paint Space Marines, pg. 86</ref>
Grey Knights (Founders were initially drawn from the Knights-Errant) - outright stated
Minotaurs (Old Lore) (World Eaters) - speculated
Minotaurs (Revamped Lore) (Iron Warriors) - speculated
Silver Skulls (Iron Warriors) - all but confirmed (origin suspected to be from the gene-seed of the Iron Warriors contingent that was led by Dantioch into taking refuge on Ultramar and stayed loyal) Alternatively; potentially not as the Silver Skulls are known for having absolute faith in the emperors Tarot and will follow the word of prognosticators which is a polar opposite from the IW data-driven approach to battle.
Red Scorpions (Emperor's Children) - speculated
Death Eagles (Emperor's Children) - all but confirmed (origin suspected due to records of a Loyalist Blackshield warband from the Emperor's Children's Death Eagles company during the Horus Heresy) while the Chapter's recorded actions stretch back as far as M32.
Storm Wardens (World Eaters) - speculated
Iron Snakes (Alpha Legion) - speculated
Sons of Antaeus (Death Guard) - speculated
Sons of the Phoenix (Emperor's Children) - speculated
