The Digital Library of Historical Directories
This site allows you to search through historical directories. These are things like Post Office Directories which tell you who lived where. They also list trades and business premises and that kind of thing. You can find out what members of your family used to do. I've found details of Banks owned by Pinckney's and I also found out one of my ancestors owed a shop which I didn't know before.
Ellis Island
Some Pinckney's emigrated to America. This site holds information on all those who went via New York. You can search by just putting Pinckney in the search box. This will give you a list of names and dates but not much else. If you then register, which is free, and only needs a name and e-mail address, you can then select the hyper-link on the name and see lots more. For example, you can see a picture of the ship and the actual ship's manifest which has lot's of useful information. The manifests cover all people entering the port whether they were emigrating or worked on a ship entering port of were American citizens returning from abroad.
