I haven't taken a DNA test but I would be very excited to learn I am 99% European. My family doesn't have a lot of historic records as to our origins. We know we technically started in Russia (on my mother's side), and my father is pure Italian, but other than that we don't know jack shit. If my genetic line came from just one region, I would have hope for piecing together my family's ancestry. As it stands, I feel disconnected from my roots.

A lot of people who are "pure X" turn out to be anything but, sometimes in as quickly as three generations. Go for the test and enjoy whatever you get from it.
