Translations for Mendicino Birth Records

Hello, I found two birth records for siblings of my Great Great Grandfather. I've attempted translations myself, but would appreciate a cross-reference!

Thank you Tessa! According to the catalog (https://www.familysearch.org/search/cat ... %20Library), it looks like Mendicino records only go up until 1910. Do you have any idea on how to access records after 1910?

You can write directly to the Comune of Mendicino.
Limit each request to one or two records.
Write your request in Italian (helpful links below), and include your photo ID, and an email address. Do not send $$ . If there is a charge for copying and mailing you may be contacted by email.

Address:
Ufficio dello Stato Civile
Piazza Municipio
87040 Mendicino (CS)
ITALY

Thank you! Do you have an idea of how much postage to put on the envelope since it's going international from the USA? Also, I think the house is actually 'Contrada Merenzate' and not 'Contrada Merengolo' as I originally wrote. What do you think?

The Post Office will assess the postage.

As to the location of the residence in Mendicino - I am reading contrada Merenzota/Merenzata. :-)

Hi Tessa - would you mind giving my letter to the commune a cross-reference to make sure it makes sense? I would appreciate it greatly! I'll include my email + mailing address, as well as photo copy of my ID.

30 Settembre 2019

Signori e signore di Mendicino saluti,

Mi chiamo Maria Naccarato, sono una cittadina degli Stati Uniti discendente dagli italiani a Mendicino. Richiedo i seguenti documenti per scopi genealogici:

1. Atti di Nascita di Mario Naccarato (mi nonno): Nato 6 febbraio 1935 a Mendicino, suo padre era Umberto Naccarato e sua madre era Emilia Filippelli.

2. Atti di Matrimonio di Umberto Naccarato e Emilia Filippelli (mi bisnonni): Sposata 24 giugno 1920 a Mendicino.

Aiutatemi a ottenere i documenti e il metodo di pagamento preferito. Ho allegato una copia del mio documento d'identità con foto.

Grazie molto,
Maria Naccarato

Also, I'd prefer the documents over email and I assume that would be faster on their end, as well? Could I request that in the note?
