You are not the only person to think this, but regardless Ubisoft will never do this. Both because "history is their playground" and because including living people or people who recently died would be controversial and could get Ubisoft a lot of lawsuits. People like George W. Bush have been included, but only very minorly and they made no 'real' on-screen appearance.

As for your idea itself, keep genetic memory into account; you can't relive the memories that took place after the point of conception.
