I'm sorry but without access to a wallet containing at least one of the missing cosigning xprvs there is nothing that can be done to recover your bitcoins.

Also, is there now way if I export the private keys from Wallet A: Wallet>Private Keys>Export and capture the all the addresses,private keys.... and try to import them into another wallet, like mycelium, or any bitcoin wallet for that matter?

I'm sorry but without access to a wallet containing at least one of the missing cosigning xprvs there is nothing that can be done to recover your bitcoins.

There is not way to recover the private key, from the xpub values?  Not even some type of code or some service that is available?  Perhaps even a developer from electrum?  Its not my life savings, but its also not pocket change in my electrum wallet. I'd hate to say that my coins are lost forever.  I would even pay someone if they could recover at least one of the xprv values of one of the cosigners.

I thought all was well, when making test deposits... until the day I tried to spend from that wallet and have been gritting my teeth since.  Any help will be much appreciated.

If it would be possible, could you have posted those xpubs savely on the internet?

You can export the private key(s) all you want, but you need 2 out of 3 in order to create a valid signature. Which leads back to what Abdussamad said.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

When you say "[you] posted those xpubs safely on the internet", do you mean sending them to someone by email or posting them onto a forum?  If so, I haven't done any of that, I thought I documented everything very well, during the creation of my multisig wallet. I kept notes of the seeds, master public key and the cosigner 1 and cosigner 2 values  for Wallet A (which I thought the cosigner xpubs were auto generated), when I created my multisig wallet.  I guess not Sad

What I tried to say was: When getting the xprv from the xpub was possible your funds would have been gone already.

right, got what you said.....

well, I was hoping that someone on here could give some bit of hope.  But its all starting to sound like I've lost my funds forever.  Perhaps ThomasV could chime in, seen his hame come across during my extensive research. 

Sucks, because I can access my wallet and see my funds, I just can't spend/transfer any money out, and its driving me insane!!

You have a lot of questions and they all stem from a lack of basic knowledge about what you are dealing with. Master private keys (xprvs) are what you need not master public keys (xpubs). It is not possible to derive the master private key from the master public key. It is not possible to derive any private keys from any sort of public key.

Your wallet is a multisig wallet so you need signatures generated by multiple private keys that can only be derived from the master private keys. Without them you can't spend your bitcoins.

ThomasV or anybody else can't help you either. Bitcoin is not a bank.

Initially, I tried to create a 2FA wallet and realized that it wasn't supported by the electrum mobile app.  Therefore, I went the route with multisig-- and without my knowledge and carelessness-- created 2 cosign wallets without proper documentation.  You are certainly correct, I lacked the knowledge of how the functionality of multisig wallets.  And made a really big mistake, but not properly documenting the seeds/xprv values, when creating the 2 additional cosigners.  That is probably the root cause of my mistake, and not knowing/realizing it

Sad not a good day for me and an expensive mistake.

However, money can always be replaced and time can not (which I have spent almost 48-72 hours around the clock trying to recover).  Therefore, I maybe at a point where I just leave all the broken pieces on the ground (and funds in my wallet), walk away a wiser man.
