Clan and Banner Background

The Zhuokejia clan appears in volume 56 of the Qianlong-commissioned Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. Its recorded ancestral settlement was Yaerhu. The entry centres on Zhuohai of the Bordered Blue Banner, whose submission date is not established, and traces several generations of military and administrative service. A resemblance between the last character of the clan's Chinese transcription and a modern Chinese surname is not grounds for reassigning its lineage.

Family Service and Distinctions

Zhuohai's fifth-generation descendant Fateha held an assistant directorship of a ministry. Leteqi served as an acting company-group commander in campaigns in Zhejiang and Fujian, then fought in Yunnan and earned the hereditary grade yunqiwei for service at Huangcaoba. The award was inherited by his son Fuedan and grandson Zhuantu. Acting in a military command and succeeding to a hereditary military distinction were different institutional processes.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Other descendants included the fourth-generation member Shushu, an assistant director, and Fugu and Asiha, both cavalry-company officers; the fifth-generation descendant Shuerhun held ceremonial duties, and the sixth-generation descendant Sandase was a deputy guard-company commander when the record was compiled. These belonged to distinct offices and descendants, not to one man's uninterrupted career. The original location of Yaerhu, precise links among lines, and appointment dates remain uncertain.
