Clan and Banner Background

The Ujaku clan is recorded in volume 34 of the Comprehensive Genealogy of Manchu Clans of the Eight Banners. It places family branches in Gahali and other localities and organizes its material around accounts of Hongniyaka and Qishou alongside shorter records. The clan name, ancestral settlement, and Eight Banner registration convey different kinds of information.

Family Service and Distinctions

Hongniyaka's Bordered Red Banner branch was associated with Gahali. Early in the Manchu state's expansion, he and his brothers submitted with forty household members. His later military distinctions accompanied appointments including president of the Board of Works, deputy lieutenant-general, and deliberative minister. Qishou of the Plain White Banner came from Suifen; descendants earned hereditary rewards for assaulting cities. Another line in the Bordered Blue Banner was associated with Saharca and included a figure called Shuwengke.

Kinship, Succession, and Evidence

Presidency of a ministry belonged to central administration, a lieutenant-general served within banner command, and titles such as qidu wei and qingche duwei were hereditary military awards. Different submission dates, including early submission, Tiancong submission, and undetermined dates, must be kept branch-specific. The exact locations of Gahali and Suifen and the Manchu spelling of the clan name remain to be checked; their meaning cannot safely be invented from Chinese characters.
