Abstract: The Wiener index W(G) of a graph G is the sum of distances between all vertices of G. The Wiener index of a family of connected graphs is defined as the sum of the Wiener indices of its members. Two families of graphs can be constructed by identifying a fixed vertex of an arbitrary graph F with vertices or subdivision vertices of an arbitrary tree T of order n. Let Gv be a graph obtained by identifying a fixed vertex of F with a vertex v of T. The first family V = {Gv | v ∈ V (T)} contains n graphs. Denote by Gve a graph obtained by identifying the same fixed vertex of F with the subdivision vertexve of an edge e in T. The second family ε = {Gve | e ∈ E(T)} contains n - 1 graphs. It is proved that W(V) = W(ε) if and only if W(F) = 2W(T).
