Yehoshua ("Eshel") Win was born around 1870 to Avraham and Dina Win. Yehoshua married Chaya-Pesia who was born in. 1872 in Sopockin to Yosef and Sarah Frumanski. Yehoshua owned a flour-mill in Lunna. Yehoshua and Chaya-Pesia had three daughters and a son, all born in Lunna: Nechama (b. ca. 1900), Rashel, Sarah ("Sertche", b. 1908) and Yitzchak ("Aizik", b. 1911).

The Children of Yehoshua and Chaya-Pesia Win
Nechama (Win) married Leib Reizner, son of Zelig and Sarah-Leah Reizner. They had four children who were born in Lunna: Aliza, Dina, Rachel and Zelig. In May 1940 Nechama (Win) Reizner and the children were exiled by the Soviets to Siberia and, in this way, survived the Holocaust. Leib Reizner was sent to prison in Minsk. Later, in June 1941, shortly before the Germans overran Minsk, the Soviets released a number of "political" prisoners, including Leib Reizner, who returned to Lunna to search for his family. Leib remained in Lunna and perished in the Holocaust. His wife Nechama died in Siberia. In 1949 Leib's mother, Sarah-Leah, and her grandchildren (Leib and Nechama's children) returned to Poland and in 1950 they came to Israel. They have families in Israel.

Rashel (Win) left for Eretz Israel in 1932. She married Yosef Fisher and was known as Ruth Fisher. They have family in Israel.
Aizik Win left for Eretz Israel in 1938, married to Tova and was known as Aizik Carmeli. They have family in Israel.
