Hi LaDonna

I believe the US Department of the Interior, Geologic Survey, has a
website that you can use. However it is not infallible.  You put in an
address and you can get the latitude and longitude information.

I put in an address of a rural area and the location was off by about a
half a mile. If I hadn't known the area I wouldn't have known that.

I'm sure you can find the web address of it through a regular search
engine.
