I don't know if souls are reincarnated. My people have some beliefs about aspects of personality, and some essence of the people who died around the time you are born being passed on but I don't know if that's reincarnation so much as recognition that we are not that much different in any significant sense than all the humans who came before us. Mostly just inhabit different paradigms with the same machinery.

I feel like "children of god" should be understood in much more ambiguous terms. God being the all encompassing term for consciousness and superanimalistic knowledge. God being the creator in the sense that what we perceive is real, thus consciousness creates reality. The children of that idea of god being those who are aware aka have souls.
Who are your people btw? I know of a few cultures who believe that traits of recently dead relatives are passed on to children born shortly after their physical death.
