How to recover my iPhoto library with Photos under Catalina

When I tried to import my iPhoto library into Photos on my MacBook Air 13" 2017 (2.2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7) I got the following message:

Photos was unable to open the library “iPhoto Library”. (3127)

-------

The import fails. This is with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1.

Can anyone advise me on how to recover my iPhoto library? iPhoto does not run under Catalina.

MacBook Air

I got help through Apple. They referred to me to one of the SW engineers. The problem was associated with file read/write permissions. They also moved my iPhotos library to a different place in the file structure of my Mac. The Apple Photos was not able to overcome these issues on it's own.
