He writes that Shigai Khan had many wives, but three of them were the most famous - Baim-bigim Hanim, Yakhshim-bigim Hanim, originally from Jagat, and Dadym Hanim, daughter of Chipmunk Khan . From the first of them, Shigai had three children: Seydkul Sultan, Ondan Sultan and daughter Altun Hanim.

According to Russian chronicles, the governor Danilo Chulkov invited three leaders of the Siberian Khanate - Prince Seydak, adviser to Karachu and the sultan of the Kazakh Khanate Oraz-Mohammed to the negotiating table. But there were no negotiations. Soon all three were connected. After an emergency in the Tobolsk fortress, the whole Oraz-Muhammad family was captured. The historical documents list all the members of the Oraz-Mohammed family who were captured alive: his grandmother Yakhsim-bigim Khanym, his mother Altun Khanym, his father’s sister Altun Khanym, the daughter of his father’s elder brother Seitkul Sultan Bakty Hanım and Kun Hanım, that is, five women headed with Baibiche Shigai Khan Yakhshim-Bigim Hanim. High-ranking captives sent to Moscow . In the Central Archive of Russian Ancient Acts, the most recent letter of the Oraz-Mohammed Sultan to his homeland, a list of his messages to relatives and friends, has been preserved. Allah is omnipotent, Oraz-Muhammad writes. I bow my head to Tauekel Bahadur Khan , the great of the great, wisest, brave, arrogant ruler of ours, keep in your heart the devoted image of your native Oraz-Mohammed Sultan, he writes. He sends greetings from nearby grandmothers Yakhshim-bigim Khanym, mother Altun Khanym, aunts Altun Khanym, sisters of Bakhty Khanym and Kun Khanym. On his behalf, Oraz-Muhammad sent Tauekel Khan an embroidered brocade dressing gown to his khan , uncle Yesim Sultan - boots embroidered with a golden pose, the younger brother of Cats Sultan - a bow with arrows, other relatives also received various gifts. The list of gifts sent to relatives by the grandmother and mother of Oraz-Mohammed has also been preserved. With regard to gifts, the Russian government showed great generosity. Tsar Fedor sent five chain mails to the khan on his behalf, and the most influential sultans of the Kazakh khanate, Esim and Koshu, through chain mail, expensive fabrics and other gifts. According to the custom of those times, the Russian tsars presented the most honorable rulers of other countries with hunting birds, but Tsar Fyodor apologizes to Tauekel Khan , writes that because of the winter time it was not possible to present the falcon, but, God willing, this gap will be filled in the future .
