"In Focus" host Cheryl Wills started her family history journey looking to learn more about her father's past, since she lost him at such a young age, but she discovered much more than just her father's past.

Wills found her great-great-great grandfather, Sandy Wills, in the military archive for being honorably discharged in 1866. He was a Civil War veteran who married Emma Moore West and had nine children, one of them being Alex, Cheryl's great-great grandfather.

She continued to dig into her family's history and discovered Sandy Wills grave was lost, until she made a visit down south.
