After installing gnome-contacts, I was wondering why half of my contacts are missing, or not having all relevant information. I finally found out that I had to install the package libfolks-eds, which contains the evolution dataserver backend to libfolks. I suggest to add a recommend to this package to the gnome-contacts package, as most ordinary user will not do that kind of research.
