Here is a little C# programmer!
To pass data between forms really isn't that hard.
Example: form3.Label5.Text = form2.TextBox42.Text;

Where you have multiple forms ("views") that need to share data (a "model") you can use Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. In simple cases you can ignore the controller and just have a model class or classes that have the data and application logic and view classes that display or input data from/to the model.
Google MVC for more detail, but recognise that most write-ups will cover cases far more complex than yours. One model and three views is all you need. Create the model first, and pass it to form 1. Form 1 can update the model with whatever data it gets. Then pass the same model to form 2, which can query the model for whatever data it needs (etc).

To actually pass the data, using a constructor for form2 that accepts the data and populates the form with it, is probably the simplest way.
