The only previous life I know of I was a well known British occultism Violet Mary Firth aka Dion Fortune. Considering I was born 13 years to the day after her death, I must have had a short incarnation between the two. I suspect I was a wolf then.
I've seen glimpses of both lives

What a load of codswallop and bunkum! You had a moderate ability to entertain with your bizarre fiction, on a facile level, to begin with but, Buddha, it’s getting all so boring…….

How I wish that were true sometimes.
Reincarnation is an interesting concept and a billion people around the world believe in it. (7% )

That said, it's a load of nonsense and there is no real evidence to support it. I do think Ash you are an intelligent chap with a great imagination. Sometimes, in difficult times, it can be tempting to reimagine the world we live in and create our own narrative. You have put a lot of thought into your OP but that's all it is, a deployment of imagination not as a result of memories or tangible facts.

I've heard estimates that around 117 billion people have lived at some time or another on this planet. Although you have said you've had many insignificant incarnations, the odds of you ever having a single significant life (like being the Buddha or Napoleon) is extremely unlikely, and so to claim you have had quite a few doesn't stand up mathematically. - In addition, your detailed account of who you (and your family) were in previous lives stands in contrast to the notion of people not being able to recall who they were in early incarnations. Virtually nobody can recall a previous life and certainly not in detail. The fact you can recall and share so many is itself an indicator that you have wandered into a rabbit hole of imagination. I'm pretty sure part of you realises this, and is the reason I am challenging what you have written in this thread.

This is a really nice message GoaD.
If my mental health was breaking down, I feel like you wouldn't laugh at me.

Why laugh at you, most on here are not playing with a full deck lets put it that way. 🙂

You make some good points but 1 billion people is rather more than 7% of the worlds population.

7% of 117 B ... I think that is what he means

The weird thing about all of this is that some of it fits in with the Jewish literature which was not accepted by the Catholic Church as inspired. Lots of uninspired writings are true and have some validity. This life is simple but the overall journey of ones soul can be very complex. Many people of all ages have had some weird experiences some of which defy logic. My view is that we have a couple thousand years again to before we can understand why we are here and what is really going on. But as you say for most people the best thing is to focus on this life and make the best of it. If there is another life after we will be in better shape if this current one is well lived.
