"In Common With" is a list of names that match you and the other person. Across ALL lines. It may or may not contain X matches.
Cousin Vicky matches my mom on one line and she also matches my dad on one of his American lines. I suggest your contact your husband's project admin for more advice. The admins can see his pages and will be able to understand what you mean.
