Are you descended from Abraham? Is your God called YHWH - the Great I Am; King of Heaven and Earth?
Check this out:
Gen.17:3-7
3.And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him saying,
4.As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of many nations.
5.Neither shall thy name anymore be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6.And I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7.And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

Yes I am related to my father Abraham (but only because of being in Christ).
This is perhaps very confusing to many who have not received Jesus as their Saviour yet. When YHWH spoke over Abram in the reference you gave (7.), He was really speaking of those who would receive His Son Jesus. Paul the Apostle makes reference to this when he emphasises that Christ was the Seed. The Pharisees on the other hand declared to Jesus that they were the seed of Abraham, and Jesus said they were not, and if they had been they would have received Him. Jesus said that Abraham had rejoiced in Jesus, seeing Him afar off. We also read that our forefathers (in Abraham) had not actually managed to see the fulfilment of the promise as they had died before hand. However, we in Christ have been grafted in and have received the promise of this covenant with YHWH. The non Jew and the Messianic Jew are one in Christ (Paul speaks of this as a great mystery).
Further to this, people have great difficulty understanding that Jesus the Christ of God is YHWH. Nevertheless, this is the truth, and can only be comprehended by a genuine born-again christian/completed Jew. Both being in the loins of Abraham.

Spiritually speaking, I know I am, because I have the same spirit, faith, doctrine and understanding of Yahweh as did he.
The only difference is, he never knew the creator as Yahweh ( Ex.6:2 ), he called him " Elshaddai " which means ; " THE ALMIGHTY PROVIDER " some times translated: " GOD ALL MIGHTY "
Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, " ELSHADDAI " WILL * PROVIDE * himself a LAMB for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Yet even then, he called him EL which is in Hebrew " YAH " which is short for " Yahweh "
If you can play on words and understand the moral of the story:
Then, as Isaac was his ONLY SON whom he LOVED by Sarah whom he agreed to offer for a sacrifice, like wise, Yahweh offered his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON for a sacrifice or his BELOVED SON.
Who was EL or Yah manifested in the flesh, thus: Elshaddai " EL SHALL DIE " EL provided HIMSELF as a LAMB for a sacrifice.
Get the point ?
From a carnal point of view, I know not how to show if I am descendance of Abraham or not.
The king James use the phrase " I AM THAT I AM " the correct charactor is " AYAH ASHER AYAH " which means : I WILL BE WHAT I WILL TO BE. Which best describes Yahweh because he is all things and all things is because he WILLS.

I don't think I have any ancestry in the middle east, so no--not as far as I know.
But I do worship his God.
