The House of Mogh,formally the House of Worf, was a family of high social and political rank and one of the Great Houses in the Klingon Empire until 2366 when false documents were produced which showed that Mogh had betrayed the Empire to the Romulans in the Khitomer Massacre of 2346. (TNG: "Sins of the Father")
In 2366, after his mother's death, Jeremy Aster went through the R'uustai ceremony and became a member of the House of Mogh. (TNG: "The Bonding")
The House of Mogh regained its rightful honor in 2367 due to the assistance of Worf and Kurn, both sons of Mogh, to Gowron's ascendancy to Leader of the Klingon High Council. (TNG: "Redemption")
In 2372 the House of Mogh was again stripped of its honor when Worf refused to help Gowron attack the Cardassian Union. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
After this second discommendation Kurn, who had been a member of the High Council, was close to suicide. His brother Worf instead had his memory wiped and asked a family friend, Noggra to take him into his house as a son. (DS9: "Sons of Mogh")
In 2373 Worf joined the House of Martok and thereby regained his honor. He was followed a year later by his son, Alexander Rozhenko. (DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire", "Sons and Daughters")

Notes
Klingon houses are normally renamed after their new head following the death of a former leader. (DS9: "The House of Quark") Unlike the norm, however, the House of Mogh is not named after its head; the house retained the name "House of Mogh" even after Mogh's death, instead of being renamed the "House of Worf." The reason for this has never been explained; this could be a choice by Worf based on his deep respect for his father, or perhaps because Worf's status as a Federation citizen somehow prevented him from being the titular head of a Klingon house.
