You will want to find out where the majority of the people with your ancestors' surnames live in the counties they came from. Then you will want to go or have someone else go to the parishes where your ancestors lived to look at the parish records available.
Another way would be to have your or a brother's DNA tested, and see how you match up with others who have been. Mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) is the type women and men can have tested for their maternal lines. YDNA, especially Y-33 and Y-46 are the types men can have tested for their paternal lines.
A third way would be to post a request on a message board about your Irish ancestors surnames, or to display your tree on an online family tree. Many genealogical websites feature them.
