Clan and Banner Background

The Duwarjia clan appears in volume 61 of the Qianlong Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its recorded home was Fengjibao. The principal ancestor, Dese, belonged to the Bordered Red Banner, although his submission date was not established. He served as a ceremonial official, while his son Liuge held the rank of second-class household guard. The genealogy additionally notes an administrative change from the booi establishment of the same banner.

Family Service and Distinctions

A booi affiliation expressed a particular kind of service and administrative subordination within the banner system. A change from this affiliation did not necessarily mean changing banner color. The source contains no evidence that Dese's family moved from another banner into the Bordered Red Banner, nor does it precisely date the change relative to the family's appointments.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A ceremonial official handled the rites associated with a princely establishment; a second-class household guard performed protective duties in the household guard hierarchy. The latter should not be confused with the emperor's second-class imperial bodyguard. Liuge is the name of Dese's son, not an assertion that six guards were employed. The identification of Fengjibao, the princely household concerned and the Manchu spelling of Duwarjia still require confirmation. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 61.
