The Reincarnationist Papers were reportedly found by travel writer D. Eric Maikranz as three notebooks in an antique store in Rome in the late 1990's.  It wasn't until Mr. Maikranz had the notebooks translated [from Bulgarian] that he discovered them to be a memoir of past lives, detailing the life of Evan Michaels [presumably now deceased] and his remembrances of two previous lives.  Mr. Maikranz has published the translated memoir.  Details at www.thereincarnationistpapers.com

Dr. Carlton and his team have been able to very many facts that Evan Michaels notes in the text such as funerary stones in Georgia (USA) and Bulgaria matching those of the past life memories, many accounts of xenoglossy [from person's known to Mr. Michaels], documents from 1940's Bulgarian legal proceedings verifying details from the first incarnation.  Dr. Carlton is wrapping up research on his paper and is excited to share details at this year's South Asian Wheel of Life workshop.

Perhaps of even greater import is Evan Michaels claim [in the text] to have meet a woman like him with memories beyond her own life, except that her memories continued back beyond the immediately previous life (very rare) and that they formed an unbroken timeline back to the 15th century.  Further, he details how she introduced him to a centuries old underground group of 28 other similar individuals based in Zurich called the Cognomina and that this group maintains contact with each other in each successive incarnation.  If this claim is true and this underground Cognomina exists, the implications to Past Life research everywhere could be profoundly changed.
