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

The KR file includes (copied from the IR file) many characteristics of the woman's husband/partner in the v7* variables. You can get a list of them with "describe v7*". This is probably the best you can do. The biological father, if in the household, can be identified with his line number in the PR file, hv114. He MAY have been interviewed for the MR file but only 1/6 of households were selected for the male interview. Other posts describe how to merge the KR file with the MR file but it requires a merge with the PR file along the way. I strongly recommend just using the v7* variables, which are already in the KR file. The mother's current husband/partner may not be the biological father but he may be more relevant for the child's welfare.
