How to retrieve the chromosomal coordinates for a list of DNA markers ?

I have a list of DNA markers (ex: D1S216, D1S2829,D3S1265 etc...) I need the chromosomal positions of these markers. Where can I get these information? I googled a bit but haven't found a reliable source.

coordinates dna-markers hg19 snps

using ucsc+mysql

$ mysql --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A -D hg19 -e 'select S.chrom,S.chromStart,S.chromEnd,A.alias from stsMap as S, stsAlias as A where A.alias in ("D1S216","D1S2829","D3S1265") and A.identNo=S.identNo'
+-------+------------+-----------+---------+
| chrom | chromStart | chromEnd  | alias   |
+-------+------------+-----------+---------+
| chr1  |   68252504 |  68252812 | D1S2829 |
| chr1  |   77655323 |  77655608 | D1S216  |
| chr3  |  195526029 | 195526304 | D3S1265 |

Thank you very much. That made my work easy :)
