The genealogy of “Daedaero Gaesomun” and “Sokmalmalgal Daejoyeong” is one family with the same roots   The genealogy of “Daedaero Gaesomun”, which the Eastern history books clearly state is “Goguryeo person”, and the genealogy of “Sokmalmalgal Daejoyeong”, which is sometimes misunderstood as being distinct from “Goguryeo person”, is According to <Saguksa, Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國 , Four Khan Countries>, they are originally one family from one genealogy, one ancestor. According to <Saguksa Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國 , Four Khan Countries>, these two lineages came from the 3rd great-grandfather of Gaesomun and the 5th great-grandfather of Daejoyeong, from one grandfather, "Almujanna=Alonza ( 乙支文 , Euljimun) Khan."
