Clan and Banner Background

The Tatara clan, described as a prominent Manchu surname in volume 11 of the Qianlong-commissioned Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, had branches at Jakumu, Anchulaku, and elsewhere. Daituku Hali of the Plain White Banner led his descendants, relatives, and fifty local households into the Manchu state in its early years. They were organized into a niru later managed by his grandson Ying'erdai, the son of Daituku Hali's second son Noyimodo. This genealogical link is explicitly recorded.

Family Service and Distinctions

Ying'erdai participated in campaigns at Shenyang and Liaoyang, later became president of the Board of Revenue and a banner commander, and received distinctions in the ducal and viscount ranks. A separate line descending from Daituku Hali's eldest son Tuobo included Sunahai, a grand secretary of the Historiographical Office and president of the Board of Revenue. The record thus traces both the incorporation of a local group into the banners and later service in central institutions.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A niru was the basic banner company and its commander was a specific officer; a banner commander held wider military-administrative authority. A ministry president managed central fiscal business, while hereditary ducal or viscount titles marked noble standing. The genealogy also specifically identifies Luo Tun of the Plain Red Banner in Anchulaku and Nalin of the Plain Yellow Banner in Neyin as kin to Daituku Hali. That evidence should not be expanded to assert that every Tatara family was closely related. Place identifications and successive inheritances require continued source checking.
