The Irish Legal 100 recognition also reflects Rob Carty’s deep Irish heritage. Family research traces his roots to Famine-era relatives from counties Dublin, Galway, Waterford, and Cork. His great-great-grandmother, Annie Hodnett, was born in Lismore, County Waterford, in 1865, where her father served as head groom at Lismore Castle. Annie later immigrated to America, while her aunt Ellen settled in Galveston, Texas. Although Ellen’s family was lost in the Galveston hurricane of 1900, their Irish spirit endures through generations.
