Nope. The Orlanthi (men & women, both) believe that they will be reborn into the world after a time spent on the Other Side as part of the "Ancestral Collective".

An individual (non-heroic) ancestor isn't contactable in this way. A Heroic (got worshipped after death) ancestor has become a (very minor) godlet, and isn't reborn. So Uncle joe may come back, but you couldn't contact him while he was dead, but Old Man <insert Clan name here> is never coming back because he is still worshipped by your clan.
You'll find this in Thunder Rebels when it hits the stores/your hot little hands.
Hope this helps,
