Default Changing Cell address within a formula

I need to copy every third cell in column A to sheet2 to consecutive rows in column A of sheet2 by placing a formula in receiving cells. I cannot find a way to change the row number in the cell addresses of the formula.

Starting in row 1 on sheet2, try
Code:
=indirect("sheet1!A"&row()*3)
and pull down as needed

This brings forward cell A1,A4,A3,A2,A5,A8,A7,A6,A9..... .and I am seeking A1,A4,A7,A10....
Maybe I didn't describe this clearly, I need every fourth cell, with three in between the cells I need. Can you help?

This what sheet1 has on it

A1 John Doe
A2 no name
A3 no name
A4 no name
A5 Jill Doe
A6 no name
A7 no name
A8 no name
A9 Tom Doe
A10 no name
A11 no name
A12 no name
A13 Mary Doe


This is the results from the new formula =INDIRECT("sheet1!A"&((ROW()-1)*3)+1) on sheet2

A1 John Doe
A4 no name
A7 no name
A10 no name
A13 Mary Doe

Not yet the desired results

I put the cell address in each cell with the text (a name or "no name") and this is the results from a cut and paste from sheet1 and sheet2.

Your sheet does still not show what you want to achieve , only the result of my suggestion which is not what you need

Is it
Code:
=INDIRECT("sheet1!A"&((ROW()-1)*4)+1)
??

The last had both sheet1 and sheet2, I believed.
This time I am sending file, sheet1, which is the project from which I wish to extract (copy) cells and place (paste) them on another sheet thus creating a list of names, addresses, etc.

Thanks for hanging with me and you continued assistance. It seems that there MUST be a way.
