Draft History of Qing: Genealogical Tables of the Emperors' Sons
The 愛新覺羅 (Aisin Gioro) family · Histories
This is a historical genealogy: everyone in it is public, and only its administrators change it. Where each person comes from is in the notes on their page.
Compiled from the Genealogical Tables of the Emperors' Sons in the Draft History of Qing, juan 161 to 165 (Tables 1 to 5), as transcribed on Wikisource: Zhaozu, Mengtemu, and the descendants of Xingzu, Jingzu, Xianzu, Taizu and the Qing emperors, 2,158 people in all. From Taizong on, the emperors themselves are not in the tables; they are added from the Basic Annals, which say whose son each was - Dezong as the adopted heir of Wenzong, and the Xuantong Emperor as heir to Muzong, as the Annals have them. Each person's notes give the juan of the Draft History of Qing he is in, linked to that page on Wikisource, and the table's own words and whatever in the transcription needs explaining.
The tables are arranged by noble rank: they record mostly the men who were enfeoffed or inherited a title, and often leave out descendants who held none; and some men who took a kinsman's title are drawn after him rather than as his son. Wherever a man's place in the tables and what their words say of his father disagree, this genealogy has checked the case and says in his notes how it was handled. It takes the tables as its base text, to be added to and corrected by its administrators from other sources, such as the imperial genealogy (the Jade Register), the Aisin Gioro Clan Genealogy and the Veritable Records of the Qing.
The Wikisource transcription has its limits too: characters with no standard encoding are written 〓 and explained in the notes. Of the seventeen pages used, 2 are marked on Wikisource as not yet fully proofread.

Simplified or traditional characters both work, and so does pinyin - xiaoming or xiao ming. If you only remember how it starts, the first letters alone will do: xm.
