In this paper, some subclasses of block graphs are considered in order to analyze Fiedler vector of its members. Two families of block graphs with cliques of fixed size, the block-path and block-starlike graphs, are analyzed. Cases A and B of classification for both families were considered, as well as the behavior of the algebraic connectivity when some vertices and edges are added for particular cases of block-path graphs.
