I have been attempting to read this Act as I think I have a complaint against an organisation and the way they send out emails.

BUT not yet found anything in the Act that refers to emails.

Anyone know which part of the Act might cover this.

I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
