Here's a catalog of earthlings with the Vitkauskas name. They range from this site's host, in America, to the editor of the multi-volume Lithuanian dictionary, back in the homeland; from a poet to a general; and, from an insurance agency owner to a computer business manager.
This catalog (in alphabetical order by first name) covers the spectrum of people with the Vitkauskas name.
The
pronunciation of Vitkauskas seems simple and phonetic to another Lithuanian.
Still, others want hints.
"Vitt-kows-kuss" seems close, but not very memorable.
Elsie says, trying to pronounce the surname "with cow's kiss" makes it a more "moo"-ving, memorable muttering.
When is a Vitkauskas, not a Vitkauskas?
Here's the irony of this webmaster running a ''Vitkauskas'' website.
His Vitkauskas-ness comes from
adoption, not heredity.
On top of that, it's ironic that he's on such a slim branch of the family tree, that (through death and marriage surname changes) all but one Vitkauskas name bearer remains: me.
Obviously, keeping this branch alive has ended, unless something is done about it. Applications for breeding more Vitkauskas-es are being taken at

A. Vitkauskas DiscoversHow To Keep His Feet Warm In Cold Weather
Writer Arejas Vitkauskas was the first person with our name that I sought out. He was kind enough to send his autobiography, where he recalled walking in cow pastures as a boy. Notable enough to include in the opening was the pleasure of digging his bare feet deep into fresh cow piles to stay warm.
Arėjas began his writing career when a volunteer in the army in the first days of Lithuania's independence. Came to America in 1933. Until occupation of Lithuania in 1940 he was a correspondent for periodicals in Lithuania. Since 1940 he established himself as an American writer, also being an editor/manager of own World-Wide News Bureau, which, besides news and photo reporting, distributes world-wide a weekly column "American Scene".

A Fantasy Vitkauskas Encounter
I am in line, waiting for my turn to get the author to sign my copy of her book.
Pen in her hand, she looks into my eyes and asks "Who should I make it out to?"
"To my newly discovered brother," I say.
"OK. What's his name?" she says.
"Vytautas Vitkauskas, but use the whole phrase 'To my newly discovered brother, Vytautas Vitkauskas.' " I add, "Then sign it."
"But that doesn't make sense," she says.
"It does when you realize that I am the 'Vytautas'," I reply. "We are overdue to meet and get to know each other."
In the happy version, this becomes the mythical story of our encounter and life-long relationship."
In the horror version, this scares her, her husband punches me into the book remainder bin and I can never regain her trust.
