Clan and Banner Background

The Hongjia clan is recorded in volume 55 of the Qianlong-sponsored Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with ancestral areas around Ula and the Changbai region. Its main entry concerns Maning'a of the Plain White Banner, who submitted early. Another line, descended from E'erge of the Bordered Blue Banner, was registered as booi and submitted during Tiancong. The source does not connect them in one uninterrupted father-son genealogy.

Family Service and Distinctions

Maning'a's fifth-generation descendant Alinbao served as a cavalry-company officer and died during fighting against the Dzungars at Hotong Huerhanoor. He received a posthumous yunqiwei, inherited by his son named Sishiba (“Forty-Eight”). That is a personal name in the succession account, not a statistical count. The genealogy expressly identifies Maning'a's younger brother Uerhu; Uerhu's son Ba'ertai held a storehouse post, and grandson Puguang served as a cavalry-company officer.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

E'erge formerly served as a third-class princely-household guard. His booi identity was a form of household registration compatible with service appointments; a household guard was institutionally distinct from a guard of the emperor. Sishiba inherited his father's military honour, not automatically his cavalry-company job. The detailed links between the lines remain uncertain.
