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

The only way to identify the biological father of a child is with hv113-hv114 in the PR file. You can identify a male household head (in the PR file) or the partner of the mother (in the CR file) but can't be sure that person is the father.

Recently we posted a program that will combine all information about the child, mother, and father on a single record. This works from the children in the PR file, not the children in the KR file, but will include nearly all the children in the KR file who are alive and living with the mother.
