Uddrag fra dagbog 1606:
”I was told these and other things only once I was 18 - an adult. It was during one of these beautiful summer days when my parents asked me to join them in our family carriage for an excursion. I accepted this offer gladly, of course, without the slightest idea about what was to come. On the contrary, I was quite astonished that this excursion was scheduled after our horseman was given leave for the rest of the day and my father, in person, took the reins. Once out of town, only we 3 in the carriage driving east of Lisbon through the Alcantara heights, my parents unveiled for me the secrets of our origins. Until then I never dreamt that I was different from all those girls of my age with whom I grew up, played and went to school. I was a good Catholic girl, like all my friends, never feeling different of course. Now, suddenly, my parents told, whilst driving in the woods, that once, before Jews were expelled from Spain, their ancestors were respectable Jews in Spanish Castille; and that their grandparents were baptised into Christianity by force, without any choice and against their will! “What?” I uttered quite frightened and surprised, "We belong to these “Cristaos Novos”, these detestable Marranos?" I was nearly not able to absorb this disclosure. It took my parents much perseverance and tenderness to finally soothe my anxious indignation.
Again and again they tried to diminish my shame, explaining repeatedly that after all no one - human being or other - can possibly decide or choose his ancestors, this being his fate. And now, that I became for the first time aware that I am a descendant of the "chosen people" which received God's Word at Mount Sinai, not only had I to accept the facts as they were, but I should even be proud of them! Especially so - they argued, to calm my natural reaction of disgrace - as also he - Jesus the Saviour and Messiah - was born a Jew. I should in no way feel any inferiority because of this. On the contrary, as baptised N.C. I had two advantages - one more than the O. (old) C. Not only did I belong to the true Christian faith but I was also of noble and not pagan descent. Little by little I got convinced and accustomed to these facts, for me entirely new and astonishing. It was, of course, agreed between us not to disclose any of this to my friends!

I was then 18 as previously mentioned, 10 years after the conquest of Portugal by Phillip II, King of Spain. Soon after this conquest the very severe methods of the Spanish Inquisition were introduced in our land too, with nefarious influence on the minds of the local population. During my childhood I heard many negative stories about the "wicked Marranos". They were heretic, not faithful, indulging secretly in Jewish sorcery and other blasphemous customs. So we children hated them and were afraid of them, especially at night in the darkness. It never entered my mind that we might be part of this cursed race. At home I was never aware of any unusual behaviour, not conforming with faithful Christian customs. Together with our parents we went each Sunday to Mass in "Ce Catedrale", the biggest and most beautiful church in Lisbon. We lived not far from there in the "Rua Do Baraõ", were known as members of the church and father was a most respected community member. He was equally well known and appreciated in the town's commercial circles and also in the international ones, having many business relations overseas in Brazil, India and Africa.”

*1565, Braga, Portugal (mindre sandsynlighed for Lissabon eller Porto, Portugal)
† 1652/1655, Amsterdam, Holland (alternativt Venedig)
 
“In 1605 Semuel Yachia aka Alvaro Dinis landed in Glückstadt on the Elbe, at that time Danish, today Germany. He was a famous coin maker whose precious coins you can find in some museum even today.

Christian IV (reigned 1588-1648) was the first Danish king to establish connections with Jews. This happened because he needed a Mint Master to run the Mint in the newly planned town of Glückstadt on the Elbe and, in 1619, Albert Dionis (Dinis) was appointed to this post. Dinis, a Sephardi Jew, "of the Portuguese nation" as they came to be designated in Denmark, had settled in Hamburg in 1605 where he developed an extensive import-export business. Opened offices to export grain, import & distribute sugar and salt (Boysalz) from the Bay of Biscay in Hamburg, Glückstadt, Lubeck, Gdansk/Danzig. Business partners were Dirichsen and Gabriel de Valenca. Dionis thus became the first Jew to be issued a royal Danish letter of protection.

After consulting with Dionis in 1622, King Christian IV invited "Portuguese" Jews from Amsterdam and Hamburg to settle in Glückstadt in the hope that this town would compete with Hamburg. To attract enterprising merchants with disposable capital, a large number of trading privileges, as well as freedom of religion were offered. The privileges given to these Jews were broadened on several occasions until they obtained, among others, the right to trade freely in Denmark, and throughout the seventeenth century they provided luxury goods to the Danish court and arranged large loans for the Danish kings.

Encyclopedia Judaica;
Denis, Albertus (also known as Alavaro Diniz and to his coreligionists as Samuel Yahya; c. 1580. 1645), court agent and Mint Master, one of the first members of the Portuguese Jewish community in Hamburg. In 1611, together with Andreas Falleiro and Ruy Fernando Cardoso, Denis purchased the Altona cemetery for the Portuguese Jews of Hamburg (the bill of sale was countersigned by him on May 31, 1611). A year later he was officially granted the right of residence in Hamburg; in the city register of 1614 he is listed as the donor of "Twintig marck luebsch" to the Glückstadt church. Denis acted as agent and Mint Master for Count Ernst of Schauenburg, and as such he incurred the enmity of the Hamburg authorities, who accused him of buying Reichsthaler coins minted in Hamburg and having them melted down in Altona. When the senate issued an order for his arrest, Denis took refuge in Altona and settled there under the protection of the count. In 1618 King Christian IV of Denmark put him in charge of the Glückstadt mint, but it operated subsequently for only a few years. In Glückstadt Denis also built and owned two houses and helped to introduce other Jews. He remained a member of the Portuguese community of Hamburg; as their representative, he applied in 1637 to Count Otto of Schauenburg for a further extension of the cemetery privilege. Denis' minting activities contributed to the first "Kipper und Wipper" period of galloping inflation caused by corruption of the coinage.
With the stabilization of finances, Denis became a large-scale sugar importer and an exporter of grain through the ports of Lubeck and Danzig, where he tried to gain a foothold for his agents—often his relatives. In 1625 he obtained the right of settlement for Portuguese Jews in Troppau and Jaegerndorf in Silesia. In the 1630s he organized a news and information service for his Danish royal benefactor. His last activity was negotiating the 1643/4 settlement between Hamburg and Denmark, and he died in poverty soon after.

Alvaro Dionis, a leader of the Jewish community in 17th century northern Germany, is discussed in The Book of Destiny: Toledot Charlap (p.410). His original name was Shmuel Ibn Yahya and another alias was Alberto de Nyes (de Nis). He is well documented in Jewish historical literature. All of these sources agree that he was not only a communal and religious leader, but a major political and economic force in Hamburg, Glückstadt, Schleswig-Holstein, Lubeck, and Danzig. His influence extended to the Danish crown and through much of Poland. He dominated the salt trade and was Mint Master of several locations including Altona and Glückstadt. With all of this, he was a dedicated Jew, even maintaining a communal synagogue in his house. Continuing research has led to further conclusions about Alvaro Dionis.”
