He was named after his maternal grandfather Albert Minnes de Ruiter. He had the following seven siblings: * Pieter, 4 September 1882, Beets, mun. Opsterland; * Aaltje (Alice), 30 May 1886, mun. Het Bildt, Friesland; * Koop, 12 November 1890, died 24 November 1890 in Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland; * Koop, 24 February 1893, Sint Annaparochie, Het Bildt, Friesland, died 5 March 1894 in Berlikum, Friesland; * Koop, 29 november 1895, Leeuwarden, Friesland; * Hendrikus, 11 March 1898, Berlikum, Friesland; * Cornelis, 8 July 1901, Ambt Almelo, Overijssel. His father Koop Mast was in 1882 a laborer, residing at the country village of Beets, municipality Opsterland, located in the mid southeastern part of province Friesland. In all those other mentioned years he was a skipper. The family Mast resided in November 1884 and May 1886 at the village of Beetsterzwaag, the seat of municipality Opsterland, Friesland. In November 1895 they lived in the country village of Sint Annaparochie, the seat of municipality Het Bildt, located in the northwestern part of province Friesland. On 15 September 1903 Albert Mast (18 y, laborer), his father Koop Mast (50 y, laborer), his mother Minka (44), his siblings Pieter (21, laborer), Aaltje (17), Koop (7) and Hendricus (5) arrived on the S.S. Rijndam at the port of New York, Ellis Island. Their last residence place in the Netherlands was Almelo and their destination was Utica, New York, where a friend was living. In May 1910 Albert Mast (15 y, Holland, immigrated in 1904 [has to be: 1903], laborer at a machine shop), his father Carl Mast (57, Holland, immigrated in 1904, laborer at a machine shop), his mother Mimie (51, Holland, immigrated in 1904, mother of 4 living children), and his brothers Carl (14, Holland, immigrated in 1904) and Henery (12, Holland, immigrated in 1904) were living in a rented house in Northbridge, Worcester County, located in the southeastern part of Massachusetts. It's quite likely that Albert and his father Carl (Koop) Mast worked at Whitin Machine Shop, at its peak the largest manufacturer of textile machines in the world. In April 1911 the family Mast moved from the USA to Canada. Albert M. Mast and his father two of the 16 Dutchmen who founded in Canada Neerlandia, starting in December 1911. Neerlandia is a hamlet in central Alberta, Canada within the County of Barrhead and situated between Mellowdale and Vega, approximately 20 kilometers north of Barrhead and northwest of Westlock. The name "Neerlandia" refers to the first settlers' country of origin, the Netherlands. In January of 1911, Henry Kippers began a Dutch Colonization society with the goal to create a Dutch Farming community. The community formation began on December 18, 1911 with 16 men filling for land permits at the Dominion of Lands Office in Edmonton, Alberta. These men were John Anema, Rients de Jager, Drikus Huinink, Cornelius Ingwersen, Albert M. Mast, Koop Peter Mast, Johan Messelink, Henry J. Micheal, Menne Nanninga, Albert J. Oldegbers, Hendrik Schoonekamp, Berend te Ronde, Douwe Terpsma, John Terpsma, Siebren Tiemstra and Willem van Ark. This was followed by Fred Baron and Henry J. Kippers on December 26, 1911 and finally Arie Emmerzael on February 6, 1912. The surrounding area is largely agricultural based with many people in the out-lying area also being involved in construction and other trades as well. See further on the book "A Furrow Laid Bare" at http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=945042 In the spring of 1912 the Albert Jan Oldegbers and Koop Mast families moved to their homesteads in Neerlandia. It took them more than two weeks to get there with all their properties, including some oxen. In March 1915 his father Koop Mast died in 1915 at the age of 62 years in Neerlandia. His mothe Minke died there too, in August 1925, at the age of 66 years. Albert M. Mast married Everdina and they had seven children, likely all born in Neerlandia. In 1921 Albert Mast (36 y, Holland, immigrated in 1911 [from the USA], farmer), his wife Dina (30, Holland, immigrated in 1911 [from the USA], farmer), their children Carl (8, Alberta, Canada), Gertrude (5, Alberta), Klaas (3, Alberta) and Peter (1, Alberta) were living in their own house in electoral district Edmonton West, Alberta, Canada, very likely in Neerlandia. Right next to them lived his sister Alice (Aaltje Mast, 36, Holland, immigrated in 1911 too) with her husband Joseph Baker and their four children. Albert M. Mast died in January 1954 at the age of 69 years, very likely in or near Neerlandia, Alberta, Canada. His widow Everdina died in September 1984 at the age of 93 years.
