I had the same problem. As most people may have more than one name (e.i. David Joseph So-and-So), including nicknames (in my case, most of my relatives know me as Bobbie, not as Roberta). I have Roberta as my first name, then in the AKA section, I have Roberta Louise (my full name) as well as Bobbie.
My grandfather was married twice and, at first as in your case, his second wife appeared as the first wife. His name was Solomon but most people simply called in Sol. I went into the AKA section, and you can select which spouse is the preferred spouse, which is what I did and that solved the problem. I hope this helps.
