Mary, those numbers after the H look like a mutation designation at marker 16,129 G (guanine) was replaced by A (adenine). I have a lot more mutations than just one and would think that you would also. I wonder why they included that in your haplogroup designation. On Sat, Mar 25, 2017 at 2:54

Oh, good to know that it needs to be the FMS. I believe that's what I upgraded to (back in 2009--where has the time gone?). At one point my haplogroup was H but it was refined quite a while ago to H-G16129A! I only have one match and that's at the lowest level. Fortunately he is Portuguese!
