Yaha

Overview

Yaha is a member of the Irgen Gioro clan recorded in Volume 15 of the *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*. The verifiable information provided in the original entry includes his affiliation with the Bordered Yellow Banner, his ancestral home in "Changbai Mountain," and his category of submission as "year of arrival unknown." The genealogy records his resume as follows: he was originally a military officer, and his son, Shuose, was also originally a military officer. The original entry explicitly records this rank under his name. The kinship hierarchy and statuses such as "former" and "current" are retained as in the original entry; at this stage, Yaha's official position, rank, or birth and death are not inferred from the official positions of his descendants. "Year of arrival unknown" means that the compiler could not confirm the specific year of submission, not that the clan never submitted. Yaha and Shuose's shared position as military officers represents two separate generations' resumes and cannot be used to infer a hereditary relationship.
