Nomindo

Overview

Nomindo was a member of the Daijia clan of the Bordered Blue Banner. Volume 29 of the official Qing dynasty genealogy, *the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners*, records that his family resided in Hangjia, but the year of his submission is unknown. Hangjia was the ancestral home of his clan, while the Bordered Blue Banner was part of the Eight Banners; these two cannot be used to fill in the gaps in the original genealogy regarding the unspecified date of his submission. Furthermore, the presence of other individuals who submitted at the beginning of the dynasty within the same volume does not necessarily mean that Nomindo was in the same year.

His son, Wuerhachan, served as a sixth-rank official. His grandson, Ahada, served as a zuoling (military officer) in the Sichuan campaign, distinguishing himself at Chaotian Pass, Panlong Mountain, Xiaomei Ridge, and Longtan Post Station, earning the rank of Qiduwei (hereditary merit rank). He later participated in the military campaign against Galdan, receiving the additional title of Yunqiwei (a rank of Yunqiwei (hereditary merit rank)) and becoming a Xie Ling (assistant officer). zuoling were in charge of basic household registration and military records, Xie Ling were responsible for the military affairs of the banner camps, and Qiduwei (hereditary merit rank) and Yunqiwei were hereditary titles awarded for merit.

After Ahada's death, his son, Taibitu, and grandson, Yangbu, successively inherited his position. The original genealogy also records that Nomindo's great-grandson Saibitu and Santai served as zuoling, and his great-great-grandson Sailuntai served as Langzhong and Daijiabao as Bitieshi. Langzhong was responsible for government administration, and Bitieshi handled documents; neither was a synonym for hereditary office. The location of Hangjia, Wuerhachan's sixth-rank official position, the dates of battles in various places, and the chain of military merit inheritance need to be verified. The military achievements of the grandchildren were not changed to Nomindo's personal experience.
