Details Lost Values Stay
What remains of our past lives are values. That express themselves in this life basically as feelings. These values are what we have created in our past lives. They are egos and they are also values of the essence.
We for example may have a strong sense of equality, a strong sense of servitude, a strong sense of duty of care, a love for the elderly, a love for wisdom, a love for Greece, a love for Egypt, a love for magical things, a special soft spot for horses, a feeling of freedom when seeing a boat sailing on the ocean, a sense of loyalty to death to a cause etc.
When Details are Important and When Not
Details that we know or learn through our past life practices are important to verify that life against recorded history. Details serve to make it true and certain that we really were that person. However, details are often lost and really are not that important for this life. What is important for this life and the next are the values that remains in our essence. Because these values are what cause behaviours, conduct and actions in this life which can accrue dharma or karma.
The details of our past lives are of little practical use in this life. No one will give us any particular extra consideration or make any more allowances for us if we say we were this or that person who lived in this or that time and country and wrote or did this or that, will they? They will most likely think you are mistaken.
