Default Past Lives

I'm building a template for a race that is reincarnated on death and has been for 500 years.

Somewhere in gurps I thought I saw and advantage to represent abilities or knowledge from past incarnations but I can't remember where. Obviously there is Wild Talent, which I will probably give them but can anyone remember the other?

And maybe Racial Memory, which can be used to represent really old immortals.

Also heavily limited Psychometry can represent aspects of it, like Deja Vu.

Alternate Form would be an advantageous form of manifesting a complete past life while Split Personality would be a disadvantageous form of manifesting a complete past life. Any mental advantage, including talents, could represent a faculty derived from capabilities possessed in a previous life. In addition, Thaumotology possesses the Reincarnate Talent (p. 207).

There's a fair bit of redundancy in these suggestions but I think I like Wild Talent + Racial Memory (especially this one since everyone of this race is at least 500 years old). Psychometry seems a bit weak since most of the interesting stuff is going to be quite old.
