Could you describe the database data. Log into mysql and find out some information about the databases. Here is a start.
use MyDatabase; show tables; and for the tables you are interested in, type something like describe MyTableName; and show us the result.

The application, interpretation and plan to migration are highly variable depending on the type of data.
