Feb 11, 2016 12:54 AM in response to handercatby Terence Devlin,It's not the "latest version of iPhoto". it's a whole new application called Photos. I'll ask that your post be moved to the correct forum.

Feb 11, 2016 6:55 AM in response to handercatby léonie,The iPhoto event folder you are seeing contains albums, that have been created from your events, so you have a reference, how your events have been structured. But Photos will not update and maintain these iPhoto event folder. If you want to have event albums for each import, you have to create them on your own. See this support document:
How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support
Photos does not have events like iPhoto had. The basic library items are moments. Moments are created automatically based on the capture time and the location.You will find your recovered photos, if you look at the Moments for the date when you took the photos.

Feb 11, 2016 8:56 AM in response to handercatby Old Toad,Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there is a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder.
To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
NOTE: It's been reported by several users that if the Event albums are moved out of the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar they may disappear. It's not widespread but several users have reported that issue. Therefore, if you want to assure that you keep those Event albums don't move them outside the iPhoto Events folder.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
Albums and smart albums can be sorted by Title, by Date with oldest first and by Date with newest first.
Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Apple-Photos Feedback.
