Jul 13, 2014 at 16:07 comment added Sam Nead I believe that, as long as $n \geq 3$ and $g \geq 1$, all of surfaces you mention are homeomorphic. The homeomorphisms are pretty crazy -- you have to "borrow" genus from increasingly distant vertices.
Jul 13, 2014 at 11:17 comment added user10001 In the construction of the surfaces that you mentioned, instead of a 3-valent tree we could as well use an $n$-valent tree (with $n\geq 3$). Also instead of adding one handle at each vertex we could add any positive number g of handles. Would the surfaces so obtained be homeomorphic to each other independent of choice of g and n ?
