Nowadays usually put in the same group as the alkali metals, group1. Hydrogen is an odd-ball elemnt. It shares no characteristics aprt from 1 electron in valence shell with the alkali metals.

Some older versions put in TWO places, with the alkali metals (group1) and with the halogens, group 17. Reasonable as H loses one electron (like a group 1) and gains one (like a halogen) when it forms the hydride ion.

Yes, hydrogen is the first element on the Periodic Table. It is often presented in two locations to indicate its ability to act as members of two different groups - the alkali metals (Group 1) and the halides (Group 7).
