Clan and Banner Background

The Tuseli clan is recorded in volume 50 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners, with families around Maotaha village in Heilongjiang and elsewhere. Mannuo of the Plain Yellow Banner submitted early with brothers and relatives. His great-grandson Hetu died as the first man to scale the walls at Teng County during a Shandong campaign and received a posthumous qidu wei. As he had no heir, his brother Kexitu succeeded; later the honour passed through Siyatu, Teqine, and Saerbai to Tongjilu.

Family Service and Distinctions

Another ancestor, Ketele, lived at Saharca and submitted early. His son Chetune distinguished himself in Sichuan as a guard-company officer but died at Yehu Ridge, receiving qidu wei with an additional yunqiwei. Because he had no heir, his brother's son A'erda succeeded. Both examples involve succession through collateral relatives, not uninterrupted transmission from father to son.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Additional Tuseli lines came from Shaji, Akedi village, Anbaximune, and Nimaca. Descendants served as bow-makers' command officers, censors, banner commanders, and bithesi. These respectively related to military crafts, oversight, troop administration, and official writing. The modern locations of Maotaha and related villages and the dates of hereditary transfers remain uncertain.
