Photoshop Elements :: Tag Collection Headings Transfer From E9 To New 12?

I used to have all my photos set up by type on the right hand of the screen and while converting/transferring the old photo catalogs, the tag heading organization did not transfer with them. I have 17,000 photos that were organized by people, events, places, etc. so it was well organized. Is it possible to transfer the old photo category tag headings from version 9 to 12? If so, how. I did transfer the photos into the new Media heading, but miss not having them organized by type as I used to have them.
