An interesting way of doing it -- however, contacting the Ancestors is actually about as difficult as contacting a minor godling. And, unless the Ancestor is someone special, they sort of all difuse into a collective 'Ancestors' thing -- sort of like 'heavenly hosts' (kinda)
Only the animists really keep track of their ex-kin.
There's a fairly big section on Heortling Ancestors in Thunder Rebels, so if you can wait just a bit, I think you'll find your answer soon.

Ah, okay. Usually these folks are special. However once a soul's gone for judgement and moved on, its pretty close to impossible to get. Wesley's website has a good example of how to handle resurrection a-la Chalana Arroy. Very neat and explains why its so tough.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
