A number of illnesses are ethnically linked - for example sickle cell anaemia - and so the ethnicity of you and the father(s) of your children is significant. A number of illnesses have a strong geographic link - like HIV - and so the geographic origins of you and anyone you've had sex with or lived with is significant.
If your husband and you split because he was an IV drug user or having sex with men at bars that would change the illnesses you need testing for.
When you talk to the doctor it's best to start from the premise that (s)she knows what to ask, and if you don't get why, ask them!

Overhead, the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air,
And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
