All (or almost all of) the reincarnation stories we hear about are stories that kids spout off in the infant and very young childhood years. We all recognize these years as more pure and closest to the person's past life. However, we don't remember these years because of the way our mind works.
I have personally asked my parents to tell me stories of when I was a kid. They will tell me what they can remember of course. I've also asked others who knew me as that young to share a story or two. Of course, you may have to weed out the difference between the preferences of your inner child and your past life.

Yes. Asking parents if they remember you ever speaking of different places (apology for my terminology here, I know not how to explain this here) or imaginary friends, and such is a great idea. Especially for those whom find it difficult to remember the things around those early years.
I on the other hand remember Now of a past life imagination scene when I was young. I didn't remember it for a long time, but I remember having this memory of going inward to this place now. The problem here for me is, in the place I had imagined as a child, I was a Unicorn (
). It makes sense though in a way, as when a child I loved My Little Ponies. Those small horse pony figures.
So while being a Unicorn in my imaginative state may not be realistic, it was actually the first thing that prompted me to ask my father about things related to other lives. I do not remember quite though the wording I used when a child when asking. Perhaps to most adults it sounded to be gibberish.
And it also made sense, because well, My Little Ponies.
As for the place itself it was weird. The imaginings were very strange- I remember the other unicorns with me being stranger than anything, seeming very callous, vain and simply strange. I do not remember though exactly what made me then feel so uncomfortable about it.
Also I think asking parents about things like this is a great idea, because it opens each the individuals and parents to discussion, and remembering and memories of those younger days.
