Steve:

You mean pureblood like Snape? You mean pureblood like Voldemort? 

Yes, we know of one family that can trace its ancestry back 9 generation, with the exception of the many burn spots and erased members of the clan. 

But I suspect very many who are shouting about their pureblood status, are hiding a muggle or two in the woodshed.
