Question: unclassified taxonomy rank

I have data of 16srRNA and taxonomy for the bacteria of this data but I found among this taxonomy something called: 1- If I found : genus_unclassified_Clostridiales_Incertae.Sedis.XIII, so the taxonomy identified till order Clostridiales or identified till family Clostridiales_Incertae.Sedis.XIII ? 2- and if I found : genus_Erysipelotrichaceae_incertae_sedis this taxonomy like genus_unclassified_Erysipelotrichaceae so the taxonomy identified till family Erysipelotrichaceae or something else ?

I think if I know the meaning of incertae_sedis, 2 questions will be answered easy but when I searched for its meaning I found that it is open nomenclature used for a taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined so it is like unclassified or not.

Thanks in advance
