What I learned from 2,000 obituaries | Lux Narayan
المترجم: Alaa Eladle المدقّق: Moaz Galbat,اعتاد (جوزيف كيلر) أن يهرول حول حرم جامعة ستانفورد،,و دُهش بسبب جميع النساء اللواتي يهرولن هناك أيضًا.,لماذا يتمايل شعرهن من جانب لأخر هكذا؟,بصفته متخصصًا بالرياضيات، أراد أن يفهم السبب.,(ضحك),شعر البروفيسور (كيلر) بالفضول حيال أشياء كثيرة:,لمَ تُقطِر أباريق الشاي,أو كيف تتلوى ديدان الأرض.,حتى أشهر قليلة مضت، لم أسمع عن (جوزيف كيلر).,قرأت عنه في صحيفة نيويورك تايمز،,في صفحة النعي.,خصصت التايمز له نصف صفحة من الافتتاحية،,ويمكنك أن تتخيل أنها مساحة مميزة لجريدة في قامتها.,أقرأ صفحة النعي كل يوم تقريبًا.,تعتقد زوجتي بشكل مفهوم أني مصاب بحالة مَرَضية,لبداية يومي بتناول بيض مقليّ و “لنر من توفي اليوم.”,(ضحك),لكن إذا أمعنتم النظر،,ستجدون أن الصفحة الأولى من الجريدة عادةً ما تحتوي على أخبار سيئة،,وتشير إلى إخفاقات الناس.,مثال على أن الأخبار السيئة تشير إلى الإنجازات,هو في نهاية الصحيفة، في قسم النعي.,في عملي اليومي،,أدير شركة تركز على تكوين رؤى مستقبلية,والتي يستطيع المسوِّقون أن يستنبطوها من البيانات القديمة –,كنوع من التحليل الاسترجاعي.,وبدأنا التفكير:,ماذا لو أعدنا رؤية ماضي الوفيات من صحيفة نيويورك تايمز؟,هل كانت هناك دروس عن كيفية الحصول على شكل نعْيِك–,حتى لو لم تكن موجودًا ليعجبك؟,(ضحك),هل سيكون هذا أفضل مع البيض المقليّ؟,(ضحك),وبالتالي، فحصنا البيانات.,2,000 نعي افتتاحي وغير مدفوع,خلال فترة تزيد عن عشرين شهرًا بين عامي 2015 و 2016.,ماذا علمتنا هذه الوفيات الألفين أو بالأحرى هذه الحيوات؟,حسنًا، أولًا تمعنَّا في الكلمات.,هذا هنا نعْي في عنوان رئيسي.,هذا الآخر للرائع (لي كوان يو).,إذا مسحت البداية والنهاية،,سيتبقى لديك مُصِيغ للكلمات بشكل جمالي,الذي يحاول، في كلمات قليلة، أن يلخص إنجازعظيم أو حياة كاملة.,مجرد النظر لهذه الكلمات هو شيء مدهش.,إليكم هذه الكلمات عن مشاهير ممن توفوا في العامين الأخيرين.,حاولوا تخمين من يكونوا.,(فنان قام بتعريف الفن),إنه (برنس).,(عملاق الملاكمة والقرن العشرين),نعم، صحيح.,(محمد علي),(مهندسة معماريّة مبدعة),(زاها حديد).,لذا نأخذ هذه التوصيفات,ونقوم بعمل ما يطلق عليه معالجة اللغة الطبيعية،,حيث تضع هذه الكلمات في برنامج،,ليحذف الكلمات الزائدة –,مثل “ال، و” — الكلمات التي تتمكن من محاكاتها بسهولة في “الألغاز” –,ويُبْقِي على الكلمات الأكثر أهمية.,ولم نفعلها لأجل هؤلاء الأربعة فقط،,لكن في جميع توصيفات الألفَين.,وهذا ما يبدو عليه.,إن الأفلام والمسرح والموسيقى والرقص وبالطبع الفن نسبتها كبيرة.,أكثر من 40 بالمئة.,عليك أن تتساءل لماذا في كثير من المجتمعات,نصرّ على أولادنا أن يسعوا وراء الهندسة أو الطب أو الأعمال أو الحقوق,ليُنظر إليهم كأشخاص ناجحين.,و عندما نتحدث عن المهن،,دعونا نهتم بالعمر –,متوسط العمر الذي يحققون به إنجاز.,هذا العدد هو 37.,ذلك يعني أن عليك الانتظار 37 عاما …,قبل تحقيق أول إنجاز مهم لك ليتذكرك الناس به –,في المتوسط –,بعد 44 عاما، عندما تموت عن عمر 81 –,في المتوسط.,(ضحك),عليك أن تكون صبورًا.,(ضحك),بالطبع، تختلف حسب المهنة.,إذا كنت نجمًا رياضيًا،,ستحقق نجاحًا كبيرًا في العشرينات من عمرك.,وإذا كنت في الأربعينات مثلي،,تستطيع الانضمام إلى عالم السياسة.,(ضحك),يقوم السياسون بأولى أعمالهم المحمودة وأحيانًا الوحيدة في منتصف الأربعينات.,(ضحك),إذا كنت تتساءل عن أعمال “الآخرين”،,إليك بعض الأمثلة.,إنها مذهلة، الأشياء التي يقوم بها البعض,والأشياء التي يتذكرهم الناس بها؟,(ضحك),ازداد فضولنا أكثر،,وأردنا ان نحلل أكثر من مجرد توصيف.,لذا استوعبنا الفقرة الأولى بالكامل من الألفي نعي،,لكننا قمنا بهذا كلٌ على حدة لمجموعتين من الناس:,الأشخاص المشهورين وغير المشهورين.,المشهورين أمثال (برنس)– و(علي) و (زاها حديد) –,وأشخاص غير مشهورين مثل (جوسلين كوبر)،,أو (القس كاري),أو (لورنا كيلي).,أراهن أنكم لم تسمعوا عن أغلب أسمائهم.,أناس رائعين وحققوا إنجازات مذهلة و مع ذلك ليسوا مشهورين.,لذا ماذا لو قمنا بتحليل هاتين المجموعتين كل على حدى –,المشهورين وغير المشهورين؟,ماذا قد يخبرنا هذا؟,ألقوا نظرة.,لفت نظري شيئان.,الأول:,”جون.”,(ضحك),أي شخص هنا يسمى (جون) عليه أن يشكر أبويه –,(ضحك),وذكّروا أبناءكم أن يقصُّوا نعْيَكم عند وفاتكم.,والثاني:,”المساعدة.”,نحن نكشف العديد من الدروس المستفادة من حياة ناس تركوا بصمة،,و ما تعلمنا من هؤلاء الأفراد المخلَّدين في الصحف.,كانت هذه العملية دليل مذهل على متغيرات الحياة،,والأكثر دهشة من ذلك,حقيقة أن الغالبية العظمى من النعايا,تبرز المشهورين وغير المشهورين،,الذين قاموا بأشياء مذهلة على ما يبدو.,تركوا طابع إيجابي في نسيج الحياة.,قاموا بالمساعدة.,لذا اسائِلوا أنفسكم في حياتكم اليومية:,كيف أستخدم مواهبي لمساعدة المجتمع؟,لأن أكثر عِبرة مؤثرة هنا،,إذا عاش المزيد من الناس حياتهم محاولين أن يكونوا مشهورين عند موتهم،,فإن العالم سيكون مكانًا أفضل بكثير.,شكرًا لكم.,(تصفيق)

The Obituary Daily Times Index and the U.S. Obituary Collection | Ancestry
hi everyone Christa Cowan here with,another episode of the barefoot,genealogist today we are talking about,obituaries now were going to talk about,two specific obituary collections or,databases on ancestry.com but I want to,start out with just a little bit of a, or a 101 information thatll apply,to anybody and that is regardless of,what country you live in regardless of,what time period youre looking for,those obituaries and just some basic,information then were going to talk,about these two specific databases the,United States arbitrary collection and,the obituary times daily index which,covers more than just the United States,so lets go ahead and dive in with just,some basic information about obituaries,or at least how to work with obituaries,the first thing you need to be aware of,is that obituaries may have been,published in a variety of newspapers and,it might not always be exactly where you,expect the obituary to have been,published now clearly were most,familiar with obituaries being published,in the place where the deceased lived,particularly if its a local paper now,if they live in a suburb to a larger,city it might also be published in the,larger city newspaper,it may be published where they died so,if they died somewhere other than their,usual residence it may also be published,in a place where they grew up so if they,lived most of their life in a specific,location and then moved later in their,life,there may be an obituary published in,the town hometown newspaper and then,finally you might find an obituary,published in a place where their family,members lived so if you have if they had,children or grandchildren even who all,settled in a particular location or who,may have been prominent in a specific,location then they may publish an,obituary there to notify the community,that the parents or grandparent of this,person in their community has passed,away,so certainly just be aware that,obituaries again theyre not always,going to be published it may be exactly,where you expect and they may be,published in multiple locations which,brings me to my next point which is your,to want to investigate or read all,versions of that obituary every,newspaper has a little bit different,rules about how when and where,obituaries can be published some,newspapers charge for that so Im,charged by the word some newspapers just,run what they have space available to,run on any given day so all the rules,differ based on the newspaper which,means that if the family wrote an,obituary the newspaper has the right to,edit that obituary down to whatever will,fit their space or their cost,restrictions and so the more versions of,the obituary that you obtain the more,likely you are to obtain the most,complete set of information also not,just from different newspapers but,youre going to want to investigate all,versions of the obituary when theyre,published over successive days I know in,the local newspapers here oftentimes,obituaries will be printed two or three,days in a row or theyll be printed once,and then print it again the day before,the funeral which can sometimes be a,week or even two weeks apart depending,on how long it takes the family to,gather family members together so youre,going to want to investigate all of the,versions of the obituary published in a,single newspaper as well and heres the,reason why thats important very often,an obituary will run in the newspaper,and of course the family is very,interested in reading that and sometimes,theyll catch errors a relationship that,was listed incorrectly a name that was,spelled wrong you know some information,that might a date that was wrong and,theyll call the newspaper and correct,that so that then when the obituary runs,the next day its running with the,corrected information so again,investigate all versions of the obituary,regardless of which newspaper or on,successive days in a single newspaper,and then for those of you who are and,again this applies if youre looking at,newspapers published in the 1880s or,newspapers published last week right,youre going to want to review that,obituary really carefully I know,sometimes we go looking for obituaries,us to prove birth dates or death dates,or parent information but pay attention,to the names of the spouses and the,children in the in-laws and the,grandchildren anybody thats listed,youre going to want to review all the,relationships that are listed in that,obituary and if youre looking for,living family members always make note,of that residence of those living people,or the people who are the people who,outlived the deceased right because you,know they may not be still living now is,what Im saying so they might be the,people who are living still at the time,of the obituary take a note of that and,one of the things that I do actually is,in Family Tree Maker in the notes,section Ill actually go in on every,person listed in the obituary and make a,note you know Ill put the year so for,example if its a 2006 obituary Ill put,two thousand six and then Ill write you,know still living according to his,maternal grandmothers obituary so that,I know that they were mentioned in the,obituary and that they lived past that,date if it lists where they lived I will,make a note of that because very often,then Ill go into the public records,index or even onto Facebook and start,looking for some of these living people,to connect with to see if they have more,information about the family and so,putting it into my notes in Family Tree,Maker just keeps it all in one handy,place so that I can have that,information available to me when I go,looking for these living people and not,have to keep going back and rereading,and re digesting that particular,obituary so thats just some basic,obituary 101 kinds of information lets,talk about these two specific databases,on ancestry.com the first one is the,United States obituary collection now we,do have several obituary collections but,were gonna use the United States,obituary collection as an example to,just kind of show you whats happening,here if youre in Canada theres some,other options there theres a database,available for you as well so Im going,to just hover over search here come down,here and click on the card catalog let,me make the screen a little bit bigger,so that you can see it,were here in the title field Im just,gonna type in the word obituary and,click search and youre gonna see that,the United States obituary collection is,the very first thing that comes up 28,million records in this collection now,Im just gonna point out we also have a,Canadian obituary collection a UK and,Ireland obituary collection in Australia,and New Zealand Abbott recollection,those are a little bit smaller for a,couple of reasons one is because theyre,smaller countries with less population,the other is because these obituaries,are crawled or electronically obtained,from any newspaper that publishes these,obituaries online and so some of these,other countries are not as many,newspapers either exist or are or put,that information online whereas here in,the United States thats a really common,practice so lets take a look at this,United States obituary collection Im,going to open it here in a new tab so,that we can come back to that index in,the card catalog there in just a minute,so Im gonna have a search box okay and,I can do some searches here let me just,tell you a little bit about this,collection before I do the first search,first of all ancestry.com started,acquiring these obituaries for this,collection in 2003 the latter part of,2003 so if I was to come in here for,example and do a search on 2003 nothing,else youre gonna see that there are a,little more than half a million looks,like 643 thousand obituaries for the the,death date of 2003 now that if I go to,2004 youre going to notice that that,jumps that number jumps quite a bit we,end up with three million and then we,end up with a fairly consistent several,million every year since 2004 now with,that
