Hi mongolia,
Just to clarify, do you mean the astronauts who were in common to each
set of programs you mentioned. For example, for the first question, do
you want the astronaut/s who flew on all 3 of Mercury, Gemini and
Apollo?

"All seven of the first group of astronauts eventually flew in space,
although one, Deke Slayton, did not fly a Mercury mission due to a
medical disqualification. He eventually flew on the Apollo-Soyuz
mission. The other six each flew one Mercury mission. For two of
these, Scott Carpenter and John Glenn, the Mercury mission was their
only flight in the Apollo era (Glenn later flew on the space shuttle).
Three of the Mercury astronauts, Gus Grissom, Gordon Cooper and Wally
Schirra, also each flew a mission during the Gemini program. Alan
Shepard did not fly a Gemini mission due to a medical
disqualification, but later did fly an Apollo mission. He was the only
Mercury astronaut to go to the moon. Wally Schirra also flew on
Apollo, as well as Mercury and Gemini, the only astronaut to fly on
all three types of spacecraft. (Gus Grissom was scheduled to fly the
first Apollo flight, but died in a fire on the launch pad during
training.)"
