Actually, I fell into a trap there, that of going along with someone else's narrative, even when that narrative is contradicted by the facts. Let's remind ourselves that there are a number of cases where a child has actively sought out and indeed been reunited with, their past-life family. These cases tend to be found in India, in one, I think a child divided their time between staying with their current parents, and also living with the past-life family, who accepted the child - after some suitable period of questioning.
I don't know whether it is the same or another case, I remember a child in India describing manufacturing and/or selling a particular kind of incense, something which took place in the past life in another village. This place and past-life was found and visited.
If you talk about the case in India. I will say that please notice India is a very special country, in that it is still extremely superstitious in modern times.
What I say may not be polite, even if I don't mean to offend anyone, you will understand me that, when I need to "PUT THE TRUTH SEEKING IN FRONT OF ANYTHING ELSE", I will not pay too much attention to politeness, if politeness hinders my stating the undeniable truth.
I repeat with full brazenness - for stating the undeniable truth - India is a strange and special country, in that it is still extremely superstitious today, even if its science and technology have been decently developed.
Sure, many countries have superstitious people, irregardless of how this country has been developed in science, technology, national defense military, etcetera. In history not very far from today, USA has many cases of cult heresy which committed crimes and persecuted innocent people. People in some North European countries are enjoying lives with highest felicity indicators, but superstition and heresy can still be found there, and many cause hurt to people or even tragedies.
But I want to say, none of the countries I mentioned above, is like India, with the superstition radically embedded into every national in this country. If you ask me where on the earth is mostly influenced by superstition, I will say besides some islands in the uncharted ocean regions, that will definitely be India.
Many cases from India are probably lies painted by its nationals' radically embedded superstitious mindset, worthless, if any researcher wants to trust. Any such research for India cases, should be categorized into a theme of "scientific explanation for why superstition is still prevailing in India", rather than a serious theme of reincarnation.
And then there's the case of Jenny Cockell, if I recall correctly, an English lady who remembered her past life in Ireland. She was re-united with her past-life family, where she is now younger than her own children! Again, if I remember correctly, not everyone in the family was convinced at first, but some of the previous family did embrace her as the true return of the decreased parent. (Jenny is still alive and active on social media).
After they were united, and have lived together for a time, was there anyone who reviewed them? Like asking questions:
Whether Jenny Cockell ever shew strange behavior which made any of the other family members doubt, that this Jenny Cockell could possibly be not their relatives, just another person in many way resembling?
Of course, under the principle that the reviewer shouldn't hurt emotions of anyone of them, the reviewer needs to find a finesse to glean all the details during their getting along with each other after they were united, then the reviewer will probably find many startling facts, and feel chill on his/her back. Having gleaned sufficient amount of detailed information, we will see who lied, for what reason, and we will know the truth are not as simple as many people wish it to be.
