If I were to research who actually owned the Fed, I'd start with the central bank of central banks (i.e., the Rothschild created bank for international settlements) and work down.
Even presidents have been put in check by this banking cartel (and perhaps worse). Glenn Beck made a stab at it but has let the question of who actually are behind the scenes, go unanswered (jump to about the 9 min mark).
Fed Provided $16 Trillion To Foreign Banks, Financial Houses
But what's a few trillion dollars between friends?
"The U.S. Federal Reserve gave out $16.1 trillion in emergency loans to U.S. and foreign financial institutions between Dec. 1, 2007 and July 21, 2010, according to figures produced by the governments first-ever audit of the central bank. Last year, the gross domestic product of the entire U.S. economy was $14.5 trillion. Of the $16.1 trillion loaned out, $3.08 trillion went to financial institutions in the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium, the Government Accountability Offices (GAO) analysis shows."

Below is a link to another effort to tie it together but in better format.
Chart of who owns the Federal Reserve once again ;)
It brings up an interesting question after seeing the Lehman brothers up near the top. What happened to cause them to be bankrupt? Must have been some serious rift in the family to cause that split.
In any regard, until there is an actual audit, everything is just speculation (no matter how accurate) and the owners of the FED will continue to remain a mystery until then.
One thing for sure, when someone (i.e., Obama) or some group (i.e., the Fed) goes to an extreme extent to keep their records hidden, there is a reason behind it. We had a brief look behind the curtain when the secret 16T loan to foreign and financial institutions came out. No telling what remains hidden in the 100 years of its existence.
