Define "registered" and with who, Fed, State, City?

If the current owner has a firearm which was purchased from FFL holder (typically a store) it's "registered" with the Feds. IF a private owner did the call when they sold it to the current owner it's "registered" with the Feds. Depending on what state you live in the requirements for private transfer are different and how long records (if any) need to be kept. For example is some states if the original owner purchased from a store and then sells he must keep a record for 10 years so a firearm by law should be traceable for 10 years plus the time they owned it. If after 10 years he takes the paperwork and starts the fireplace like all good freedom loving people do, then the "registration" is lost. Of course for private sales it's only as good as the record keeping and what is required. If you state or city requires this or if you have a conceiled carry permit and they require to know what your have??

Generally speaking, no. A few states, 5 or 6, require gun registration, but in most of the U.S. there is no registration. The 4473 form you fill out stays at the gun shop for 20 years, then after that, the gun shop can shred and dispose of the forms, but that isn't the same thing as having to register the gun.

How do you find a serial number to a gun that is registerd to you?

Look on the weapon. If this is an instance of a stolen firearm, and you need the serial number for reporting, there are a couple different ways you might be able to find it. If you have a case the firearm came with (particularly with handguns), the number could be on a tag on the case. If you remember when and where you bought it, the shop you bought it from should be able to pull up those records.
