Clan and Banner Background

Volume 57 of the Qianlong-era Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners records four principal Wole lines: Kacha of the Plain White Banner, Chahadai of the Bordered Blue Banner, Sirhu of the Bordered Red Banner, and Buyantu of the Bordered White Banner. Their historical homes included Qiqihar, Ula, and Heilongjiang. Sharing the name did not entail belonging to one banner or one locality.

Family Service and Distinctions

When the genealogy was prepared, Kacha's sons Ebai and Balantu served as cavalry-company officers. Chahadai's son Lehele had served as a city-gate commandant, and both branches were described as early adherents. Sirhu submitted during the Tiancong years; his great-grandson Yilibu held a ceremonial office. The date of Buyantu's submission is unknown; he served as a vanguard battalion commander, and his grandson Angjitu as an assistant banner commander. The source records that the Buyantu line had been transferred from the Plain White to the Bordered White Banner.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

A city-gate officer, vanguard commander, assistant banner commander, and ceremonial officer had different institutional duties; they should not all be rendered generically as guards. The banner transfer must likewise be retained in the line's history. The location of individual Heilongjiang settlements, the date of transfer, and the kinship between the four branches remain uncertain.
