Background and Banner Affiliation

Yiseji was a member of the Guwalgiya clan registered in the Bordered Red Banner, with Ula given as the family's ancestral locality. Volume 3 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners does not establish the year of his submission. His son E'erte joined a campaign in Shaanxi and died fighting Wang Fuchen's forces at Pingliang. E'erte was posthumously awarded the hereditary rank yunqiwei. Since he had no offspring, the distinction passed to his younger brother Ge'erte and subsequently to Ge'erte's son Wangzhu.

Career, Campaigns, and Offices

This succession crossed first to a brother and then to a nephew; it was not a simple father-to-son transmission from E'erte. A posthumous hereditary award should not be interpreted as proof that E'erte had previously held an identically named active military office. Nor did the heirs necessarily inherit his former command.

Hereditary Honors and Source Limits

Other descendants included Zha'ertai, who became a ceremonial official, Ku'erchan, who served as a garrison officer, and Hu'erchan, a bithesi concerned with official writing and translation. These were different kinds of work performed by different generations. The Ula ancestral region should not be reduced without evidence to a specific modern town address. Names resembling Wangzhu or Hu'erchan in other genealogical volumes must be checked through family relationships before identification. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 3.
