Clan and Banner Background

The Guojia clan is described in volume 57 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners as dispersed among Suwan and other places. Its recorded branches include Jialang'a of the Bordered Red Banner, Naqin and Huli of the Bordered Blue Banner, Changge of the Bordered Blue Banner booi, and Weili of the Plain White Banner. Their recorded ancestral places and submission histories differ. The Chinese character used to write the surname does not justify equating every family surnamed Guo with this Manchu clan.

Family Service and Distinctions

Jialang'a's descendants held seventh-rank administrative and infantry-unit positions. Naqin, whose family came from Gaizhou, and his son Boji served as cavalry officers. Naqin's elder brother Meng'an had a son, Song'ai, who became a niru commander. Meng'an's grandson Subai was recorded as a second-class household guard, and E'luntai as a garrison officer. Naqin's younger brother Gelitai had sons Yisang'a and Nahai, who served respectively as a garrison officer and a bithesi. These are separate relatives, not successive offices held by Naqin himself.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Changge submitted during Tiancong; his grandson Guo'erge became a guard-unit officer. Weili, from Huifa, returned from Khorchin during the Kangxi reign. The meaning and extent of these movements and the relationship among the recorded branches remain uncertain. Source: Eight Banners Manchu Clan Genealogy, vol. 57.
