i can try to help you out, but im not sure what it is you are asking.
If you want to know which minor keys contain all the notes you posted, then you can think of A minor, D dorian and E phrygian.
Also, a sharp can be the same thing as a flat.
for example,
F sharp is the same thing as G flat.
f---f sharp----g----
f---g flat-----g---

cheers

EDIT:
if you want to find the notes that are in the minor keys of all those notes you posted, then the answer is: every single note in the musical scale.

The easiest way is to know the major scales, then think of the minor scales as relative minors.

You can use the, W-H-W-W-H-W-W formula.

W--H---W--W---H---W--W
A---B---C---D---E---F---G---A= A MINOR

.....

The relative minor is simply the same notes starting on the 6th degree of the parent major scale, for example:


C D E F G A B C = C MAJOR
..............A B C D E F G A= A MINOR


Flat and Sharp keys aren't necessarly the same thing, unless they are enharmonic equivelents.

For example:

F# major, and Gb Major are the same, the notes have just been assigned different names.

in case he doesnt know, the 6th degree would be 3 halfsteps down correct?
