My father's is the same as your brother's:

25 Smith 22 Johnson 20 Murphy

I guess it's because of Irish diaspora who've mixed, 'cause there's no Smith, Johnson or even Murphy in his family tree.

Now it makes sense. Real Irish from the south get Sullivan, no Northern Irish protestant pretenders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Sullivan

O'Sullivan (Irish: Ó Súilleabháin), also known as simply Sullivan, is an Irish Gaelic clan based most prominently in what is today County Cork and County Kerry. The surname is associated with the southwestern part of Ireland and was originally found in County Tipperary before the Anglo-Norman invasion. It is the third most numerous surname in Ireland. Due to emigration, it is also common in Australia, North America, Britain and the rest of the world.

We have none on those names in our family tree either.
