Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I don't know why you would want to merge the KR and HR files. A child in the KR file will only be in the same household as the mother if b9=0. A household may have NO children in the KR file, or may have several, especially if there are multiple mothers in the same household. However, if you want to do this then you just match hv001 and hv002 in the HR file with v001 and v002 in the KR file. Many examples of merges have been posted on the forum and this is an easy one, with only two identifiers.
