Q: Problem with Contact list after system upgrade

I upgraded my MacBook Pro from 10.7.5 to 10.11.6 and everything seemed to go smoothly, it booted and worked

and ran all the programs as expected; however, when I checked my contacts list which had >200 people with phone and address information in my 10.7.5 system, the 10.11.6 contacts file only had the Apple address info in Cupertino;

everything else which I really needed was gone.  Is there some way of restoring this? My iPhone still has the information

in contacts but I'm a little afraid that if I link my iPhone thru iTunes it might wipe my iPhone contacts as well & that would be a disaster.  I also have a Time Machine backup of the 10.7.5 system that hasn't been connected to the 10.11.6 system yet.  Also, all the family birthdays, appointments, meetings & special events in the iCal app were wiped out as well ( but still exist on the iPhone).
