My grandfather remarried after 1st wife past, Now our biological tree from my dads mother is GONE... replaced by the new wife's. NOT biologically related, and i have to go do searching to find our family.

need to connect biological families and keep them IN the Family Tree, regardless of new marriages. and so forth. By NOT doing this is causes great confusion, possible mistakes, or loosing family by younger generations who do not know the REAL family tree.

YOU need to add spaces for re married spouses. so we can track all of the family tree accurately. by removing past real blood lines, much irritation, confusion when you go looking for your family happens.

family will be forgotten, lost by younger generations, confusion. by this great neglect in keeping family trees / bloodlines authentic.

    To enter another spouse, go to the person's Details page, scroll down to the Family Members section, and click "Add Spouse".

    ... Now our biological tree from my dads mother is GONE... replaced by the new wife's. 

    @Stephen Tracy Huls What URL/address are you seeing only the 2nd wife on? Or, if you can share the profile ID of grandfather it might help if someone could view the profiles involved. If both wives exist but the 2nd is marked preferred - then that will be the default in pedigree view. But if his 1st wife was once in the Tree but is now missing - Julia's method should restore that line (it should be easy to add back in - hopefully - it really just depends on what has occurred).
