Recent examples of periodic bifurcations in descendant trees of finite p-groups with p {2, 3}∈ are used to show that the possible p-class tower groups G of certain multiquadratic fields K with pclass group of type (2, 2, 2) , resp. (3, 3) , form periodic sequences in the descendant tree of the elementary Abelian root C 3 2 , resp. C 2 3 . The particular vertex of the periodic sequence which occurs as the p-class tower group G of an assigned field K is determined uniquely by the p-class number of a quadratic, resp. cubic, auxiliary field k, associated unambiguously to K. Consequently, the hard problem of identifying the p-class tower group G is reduced to an easy computation of low degree arithmetical invariants.
