A patron had this information: A book had this plot: a man and a woman married
200 years ago. They die and then they are reborn into people who find each
other again. This keeps happening--they are meant to be with each other. Any
takers? TIA, D

This sounds like it could be Remembrance by Jude Deveraux.

From Amazon:

Every cause has its champion. Now past-life therapy-the practice of curing neuroses through hypnotic regression into previous lifetimes-has its own in bestselling romance writer Deveraux, whose latest concerns a similarly bestselling romance writer whose problems stretch back centuries. Hayden Lane becomes so obsessed with her fictional hero, James Tavistock, that she loses her fiance, her editor's favor and, increasingly, her sense of reality.

After a visit to a psychic convinces Hayden that her troubles are due to past-life tragedies, she consults a hypnotist who transports her back to Edwardian England, when Hayden was Catherine Tavistock, Lady de Grey, and married to Adam Tavistock (the embodiment of the fictional James).

To get to the bottom of this problem, Catherine, whose body now contains Hadley's consciousness as well as her own, allows herself to be hypnotized back to Elizabethan times, where the tale unfolds of how earlier incarnations of Catherine/Hayden and Adam/James loved one another but betrayed that love.

This could be "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. A great read!

This reminds me of the Piers Anthony Geodyssey series (Isle of Woman,
Shame of Man etc), except that this series takes place over the entire
course of human history - 3.7 million BC to 2021 AD in the first book).
The characters are the same people in the entire book, but in each
chapter you meet them reborn into a new time period.

I think this plot sounds familiar. Actually, it sounds like a paranormal
romance novel I read in the 90's. It kind of reminds of Maggie Shayne...I'm
going to try to hunt this down. Cynthia Parker may know...
