Clan and Banner Background

The Tatan clan is recorded in volume 61 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with the Changbai region listed as its ancestral home. Taotuoli of the Bordered White Banner belonged to a booi household and submitted in the early Manchu period. He served as a first-class princely-household guard. The master record expanded an earlier index-only reference by consulting the corresponding source passage.

Family Service and Distinctions

A first-class household guard served in a princely establishment and was not identical to a first-class imperial bodyguard attached to the emperor. The term should not be converted merely because the two names sound alike, nor does “first class” describe a hereditary princely title. The specific household in which Taotuoli served is not stated in this excerpt.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Booi was a form of administrative and personal affiliation that could coexist with officeholding; it did not define a person's occupation by itself. The Changbai region identifies a broad ancestral geographical setting, the Bordered White Banner his registration, and Taotuoli the person recorded. The vague designation “early period” cannot be given an invented exact year. His appointment dates, exact household affiliation, Manchu clan spelling, and descendants remain unverified, and the short entry supplies no basis for fabricating honours or campaigns.
