This is an extremely valid question not to be laughed at all. To my knowledge,
no, there is no such system. It is yet another failing of the whois system
as implemented today, that there is no way for the public to trace the
"chain-of-ownership" or any other chain of events of a domain over time
(nameserver moves, registrar moves, etc)
Wish there was.
