let's see...

http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/History/Genealogy/ is yahoo's listing of geneology websites, i know for sure that some of those have info about last names.

also, you can try your local library... look in the genealogy section and if you have problems then ask the reference librarian.

hope that helps.
