Any suggestions on flying next May from Fairbanks to Dublin? Some of the routes seem to go through Frankfurt?

You can get a list of all the nonstop flights from Fairbanks's airport from their Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairbanks_International_Airport#Airlines_and_destinations
As you can see, your options are limited. Condor's flight to Frankfurt is the only one nonstop to Europe, and therefore is probably faster and easier than connecting through the lower 48 (which would be on United via Chicago, unless you have more than one connection, which I'd prefer to avoid if at all possible). I see that there are flights on various airlines to Seattle and Minneapolis - but looking at those airports' Wikipedia pages, they don't have nonstops to Dublin.
A further complication is that these flights to Frankfurt and Chicago are "seasonal, " and I don't know if your dates in May are part of the season when they operate, or are too early. If the seasonal flights aren't running, you'll have to make two connections (eg, Fairbanks to Seattle, Seattle to JFK, then JFK to Dublin - all of these are year-round).
Look at Kayak or Google Flights to see all the options. You have to decide what your priorities are - fastest overall flight, fewest connections, shortest layovers, lowest price, etc. Again, coming from Fairbanks and going to Dublin, you're going to have to compromise on something; there simply is no fast and easy way to make that journey.
