Does anyone know where we could find a resource (online perhaps) for the correct translation of surnames from the Anglicised versions to the correct Gaeilge version with correct pronunciation?

This site has proved reliable in the past: http://www.namenerds.com/irish/last.html. (It doesn't contain pronunciation information, but this varies quite a bit by dialect anyway.)

In general, I've had decent luck searching surnames on Wikipedia. See the article for the surname Sullivan, for instance.

Mo leithscéal faoin drochscéala a Dhomhnaillín, ach mholfainn duit fainic a chur sa duine a chuir an cheist. Ní beag an méid botún atá i sloinnte Gaeilge an tsuímh sin a bhfuil a sheoladh thuas, namenerds.
