Clan and Banner Background

The Ulisu clan is recorded in volume 55 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its families lived around Qiqihar and other parts of the northeast. One Plain White Banner line was founded by Eboto of Qiqihar, whose submission date is unspecified. His son Kala was deputy lieutenant-general at Ningxia when the genealogy was prepared; the grandson Urdeng served as a second-class imperial bodyguard and Paltu possessed yinsheng qualification. Qiqihar was the line's ancestral locality, whereas Ningxia was Kala's place of official service.

Family Service and Distinctions

The genealogy also includes the Plain Red Banner Heilongjiang branches of Hederi and Erkun, whose descendants were company officers in distinct guard and military units. The Bordered Blue Banner branches of Jingwen and Zhulantai were connected with Qiqihar and Huifa. Other Plain White Banner lines, including Hunabu and Leng'egun, produced banner-company commanders and imperial guards.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A deputy lieutenant-general exercised garrison and banner command; a bodyguard served the emperor; and different company-officer designations corresponded to different establishments. Yinsheng denoted eligibility arising from an ancestor's service or special favour, not proof that Paltu held a specific office. These branch records do not establish a unified migration route, a shared recent ancestor, or common career for the entire clan. An officer's posting in Ningxia cannot be used to relocate the family's ancestral home.
