Contacts

When I updated to MacOS 10.15.6 yesterday, all my contacts disappeared except 5. What happened? How do I get them back? I don’t use iCloud, I backup Using Time Machine using an external hard drive. But looking at my Time Machine backup, I don’t see any version of Contacts prior to yesterday.

Which email account do you have your contacts stored in?

Is "Contacts" turned on in the account settings for that account in System Preferences, Internet accounts?
