When Migration Assistant is used it transfers the entire account, not just files.

So if you have a account already existing on the machine, then you will wind up with two or more accounts on the machine depending on how many accounts were migrated.

You like want to merge the information into one account and I wrote a User Tip how to go about here.

Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine
