I think spirits don't have fixed identities in quite the same way that people do, since they're not defined by memory in a physical body. A spirit can be in a lot of different people at once, and who the spirit seems to be to you depends a lot on who you are and what question you're asking. So I doubt your spirits have specific histories that you can find out about, its more relative and fluid like that. To use an analogy, if you trace the ancestry of your physical body, there isn't one sequential lineage, its a tree that you share with a lot of other people. Or to use a different analogy, in some way you are not the same person now that you were twenty years ago, while in some other way you are the same, while in some other way you share an aspect of who someone else is. Identity is not entirely an either-or kind of thing. I think if you could somehow succeed in pinning down your spirit guide, and defining her in a more definite way, you would make her into something much less than she is. She would rather stay in the trees. If you can trust that she is still there, even though you don't experience her in a concrete way, that is better.
Best wishes!
