Start with http://www.survivalafterdeath.org and http://www.fst.org, look under history, get in touch with Lily Dale www.lilydaleassembly.com/ about Mollie Fancher, also here http://inside.salve.edu/walsh/mollie.html. And get on our books page http://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/books.html, we have a number of books about trance speakers. http://www.nsac.org might be able to give you their take on it.
Exchanged personality is more like the Lurancy Vennum thing (Gabe's favorite case). http://www.mysteriouspeople.com/Lurancy_Vennum.htm, http://www.prairieghosts.com/watseka.html. And you need a copy of The Passion of Ansel Bourne (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0874745691/astraeaswebmulti/103-9348129-4651055) and William James On Exceptional Mental States (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D087023451X/astraeaswebmulti/103-9348129-4651055).
Read these things with a grain of salt -- a lot of times when someone says (for instance), "There was no way she could have known about so and so," it turned out there really was, and people were ignoring it in favor of making the real events more sparkly-toaster-licious.
Speaking of that: Have a look at All in the Mind?: Claims of Reincarnation Investigated (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0575029684/astraeaswebmulti/103-9348129-4651055), there is a whole section on multiplicity in the middle of the book, and he's very good at putting you in the right frame of mind -- the fact that there is very little documented proof of any of this stuff. (Documentation that an event has happened is not the same as documentation of proof, what Spiritualists call evidentiary tests.)
