In most cases the best place to start when trying to determine the history of your firearm via serial number is to contact the manufacturer. In most cases they will be happy to help you, or direct you to someone who can.

Depends on what you are trying to research. Rifles were not required by law to HAVE serial numbers until the 1968 Gun Control Act.
