Cemetery records are either the original gravestones of the deceased, or else a transcript of them. The first very important thing to note in the Netherlands is that, due to land shortages, most graves are cleared after 20-30 years. The gravestone will usually be destroyed and a new burial takes place in the original space. This means that most people do not have a surviving gravestone. Older gravestones can only exist where a yearly lease is continually paid, or if the cemetery is no longer being used. Jewish gravestones, are, by tradition, never cleared.
