Migration Assistant did not migrate documents
Migrating to new 24" iMac from 21" iMac with High Sierra. All but Documents transferred. Should I run Migration Assistant a second time?

Don't have a cable for direct transfer between computers.
Would this adapter help: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple?
Once you connect the Time Machine drive to the new iMac, see: If your new Mac inherits your backup history - Apple Support Then you can Restore items backed up with Time Machine on Mac - Apple Support.

Thanks for the comment, Jack.
I do have the documents on my Time Machine disc and will try to transfer them tonight. Don't have a cable for direct transfer between computers.
I was surprised that all settings/files associated with my User Name were transferred except for the Documents folder. It is rather large so perhaps that is the reason.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
Do you have an external storage device where you can put the documents, then drag and drop them to the new iMac?
