Two pedigrees.
We have included Maura's card as it has her email - for those
who may wish to contact her.
The pencil writing is ours where we note a spelling difference to what
we show in other pedigrees.
We understand the NB number to be the Irish Number and the CS to be
GCCF. The NS, - perhaps someone will advise. - They did

Hello there!
GCCF Judge, Alan Edwards here. ÝYour enquiry about what "NS" means in front of a GCCF registration number. ÝIt means "New Series". Ý"NSSR" means New Series Supplementary Register. Ý"CS" means "Computer Series" and CSSR means Computer Series Supplementary Register. ÝThe New Series numbers came in during the 1970s to replace just a simple number beside each cat.
I also note that where you have Graylag Celebrian you (or someone) has written in "Celebration". ÝIt was "Celebrian" which is a name from Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". ÝMichel Gray bred the "Graylag" cats. ÝHe was a gorgeous looking male model. ÝQuite turned the ladies' heads at shows.
I have been in the cat fancy since 1969 and know (or knew) some of the personalities in all breeds. ÝAny help I can give........!
Regards
Alan
