Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey Pettals,

First is a URL search string for "Whittys family". That produces more than 10 pages of web sites with Whitty(s) (second is without the 's')

Then GENFORUM for Whitty, produces lots of sites also. Family Search by LDS show about 238 direct hits, these are possible ancestors from all over the world. Select the Advanced Search, type Whitty in the last name, and EXACT MATCH, then the Search button.

The Ellis Island site has 204 matches to Whitty, you have to register to see them, but it is free. This should get you started.
