When I migrated my info from my old MacBook OS X El Capitan to my new MacBook OS Catalina, the Contacts file or files didn't migrate. I don't have any contacts. How to I get them?
MacBook
You could connect both Macs to iCloud and set each (in System Preferences) for Contacts in iCloud. This will reproduce your Contacts from the El Capitan Mac over to the new one. (If you do this, be sure to log out of iCloud and log out of your Apple ID on the old Mac if you are selling it or getting rid of it.)
If that is not to your liking, you can Export the Contacts from your old Mac (there should be several options) and then try to import them on your new Mac from the files created from the export.

Thanks Steve. I figured it out. You are right, I needed to check the box for contacts in icloud on my new mac to allow Contacts to populate. Thanks for responding:)
