Clan and Banner Background

The Boholi clan is recorded in volume 50 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners with branches in Heilongjiang and elsewhere. Ezhengku of the Bordered White Banner submitted during the Tiancong era. His grandson Nongkedai became a banner-company commander; another grandson, Tardai, served with the vanguard guard and campaigned in Yunnan, Burma, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Huguang. He received a hereditary qidu wei distinction with an additional yunqiwei. His son Qilanbu inherited the distinction, also served as a second-class household guard, and was succeeded by Zaobao.

Family Service and Distinctions

Another great-grandson, Huase, distinguished himself against Galdan and received yunqiwei. He later served as an assistant banner commander and retired because of illness; his son Changbao succeeded to the hereditary award. Descendants also held city-gate, defence, guard-company, and granary posts. Other clan lines were recorded at Aihu, Bairulu, and Hunchun, in different banner registrations.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Vanguard bodyguard responsibilities were separate from the guard grades of princely households. Hereditary military grades likewise differed from actual appointments as assistant banner commanders. Tiancong (1627–1636) dates Ezhengku's submission, not all later events in the family. Exact settlement sites, military dates, and relations across branches still require checking.
