I've been doing a little genealogy lately and seen a few pictures of gravestones belonging to the people I'm related to that emigrated. Not a lot of other traces of them so thats pretty neat, sure! Here in Sweden we have really good records that are open and free to search online. The church kept an eye on everybody back in the days so the only obstacle is not being able to read some priests old handwriting from the 1700s, or that everybody had the same names back then, "Anders Andersson" might be the worst example of that. I hope AI will take care of that, probably any day now. Might take some of the fun out of it though. My mothers grandfather that died in 1938 still has his spot, it is going to be there for a few more years. I don't think anybody has visited it for a very, very long time. My mom didn't even know it existed until I found it online, so at least 60 years. I think the standard "lease" was for a really long time back then, and now when the grave yards are overcrowded you have to renew it every 10 - 15 years by default. A lot of people probably makes the first grave into a family grave. So you'll have grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, fathers second wife (awkward :P), and so on in the same grave.
