Household affiliation Weiban belonged to the *booi* branch of the Guwalgiya clan registered in the Plain White Banner and associated with Anculaku. The *Comprehensive Genealogy of the Eight Banner Manchu Clans*, volume 2, leaves the family's submission year unknown. *Booi* described a particular historical dependent-household affiliation inside the Banner system, not simply ordinary modern hired employment. The genealogy does not describe Weiban's own official career in detail.

Distinct offices across generations A son of Weiban served as *hujun tongling*, a senior commander of the Guard. A great-grandson, Yanbai, fought in Zhejiang and Fujian while temporarily acting as *hujunxiao*, a junior Guard officer. He died in action at Zutou Mountain near Quanzhou and received the hereditary merit distinction *qiduwei* after death. The son's senior command and Yanbai's temporary junior appointment were not offices held by Weiban himself.

Succession and source limits The hereditary dignity passed through Yanbai's sons Changshou and Laidai and grandson Dege. Other relatives served as Banner regimental and cavalry officers. The genealogy links Weiban's family at clan level with certain Guwalgiya branches from Hada and Ula; that does not establish direct father–son descent between those branches. One character in the recorded name of Weiban's son is missing from the consulted transcription and should not be reconstructed without examining the printed source. The precise Anculaku village and appointment dates remain uncertain.
